Modification of fully reconstructed jets in $\sqrt{s}$=200 GeV $d$+Au collisions at PHENIX
ORAL
Abstract
Fully reconstructed jets in d+Au collisions allow the study of the cold nuclear medium such as the nuclear parton distribution function and the multiple-scattering of the partons traversing this medium. In this contribution we present the current results from the PHENIX experiment on fully reconstructed anti-$k_T$ jets using the 2008 $d$+Au dataset. Jets with $p+p$-equivalent jet energy above 15 GeV show a reduction of the rate of these jets in central $d$+Au compared to peripheral $d$+Au collisions. The implication of this data on our understanding of the nuclear wavefunction and cold nuclear matter multiple-scattering models will be discussed.
