WIDG Seminar: Andrew Tamis, Yale, "Measurement of Two-Point Energy Correlators within Jets in p+p Collisions at STAR"

Hard-scattered partons that are ejected from high-energy collisions at both the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) undergo fragmentation as described by quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and hadronize into final state particles that are measured by the detector. The behavior of these showers can be studied using jets, clusters of final state particles used as a proxy for the initial parton. The substructure of these jets contains information about the time evolution of the parton shower.

WIDG Seminar, Fernando Flor, Yale, "Statistical Hadronization Model Calculations of Chemical Freeze-out Parameters from Heavy Ion and Elementary Particle Collisions"

Statistical Hadronization Models (SHMs) have successfully calculated hadronic particle yields to over nine orders of magnitude in high energy collisions of heavy ions and elementary particles at both RHIC and the LHC. Assuming a thermally equilibrated system, experimental final state particle yields from collisions measured by the STAR and ALICE detectors serve as anchors for the determination of common freeze-out parameters – namely, the chemical freeze-out temperature and the baryon chemical potential – in the QCD phase diagram through thermal fits within the SHM framework.
