Transverse Momentum Broadeningp
T-broadening = additional momentum perpendicular to jet direction
Radiative energy loss propotional to pT-width
Widens azimuthal correlation
PLB 763 (2016) 208
Sudakov (vacuum radiation) effects large at the LHC – > pT-broadening invisible
BDMPS frameworkarXiv:hep-ph/9608322
– > LHC observed jet quenching, but no pT-broadening.

What widens azimuthal correlation ?
Turn off these processes one by one.Their absence reveals the impact on the observable.
ISR is the process that widens azimuthal angle correlation.

Same as in JetTools on github : link

2. Number of particles taken from multiplicity measurements

LHC : PRL 116, 222302 (2016)dN / dη ~ 1500-2000 for Cent:0-10%
3. Shoot them into Pythia event
4. Cluster jets using all (Pythia+toy) particlesCorrect jet energy by subtracting energy of

Summary
● pT broadening expected to widen angular correlation
– Hard to observe if vacuum radiation effects large
● effects large at the LHC, small at RHIC● Initial-state radiation (ISR)
– Large ISR effects if large phase space
● ISR smaller at higher pT
– RHIC : small ISR, steep spectra
● Background effects
– Studied using gen-level Pythia embedded into toy heavy-ion UE
– UE particles pull jet axis – > distort angle measurements
– One solution is to change recombination scheme to WTA.
● Reduces resolution effects for JS and angular correlations
– Hope to find a better solution in this workshop

Particles from UE and jet axis
● High pT particles from UE pull the jet axis during clustering
● Different shape than with particles from mixed event
● What is distorted here is the jet axis, a vector
– Direction of change ambiguous
● Correlated with the position of particles
– Not reproduced by random smearing
● Need to redefine jet angle ?
