Description

In ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions, an exotic phase of matter known as the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is created. The QGP is a thermodynamic system characterized by extremely high temperatures and energy densities, where quarks and gluons can move beyond the confines of nucleons. Recent years have seen a multitude of studies uncovering many intriguing phenomena of QGP. Jets, which are sprays of particles originating from highly energetic quarks and gluons, play a crucial role in these investigations. Due to their dynamic nature and the complex evolution into hadrons, interactions between jets and the QGP offer valuable insights into the inner workings of the QGP. In this talk, I will discuss some of the exciting developments in the study of QGP using jets as a probe.
