Full Jet Reconstruction in Heavy Ion Collisions

Understand

Full jet reconstruction has traditionally been thought to be difficult in heavy ion events due to large multiplicity backgrounds.

• The search for new physics in high luminosity p+p collisions at the LHC similarly requires the precise measurement of jets over large backgrounds caused by pile up; this has motivated the development of a new generation of jet reconstruction algorithms which are also applicable in the heavy ion environment.
• We review the latest results on jet-medium interactions as seen in A+A collisions at RHIC, focusing on the new techniques for full jet reconstruction.
