Description
Measuring jet substructure at the Large Hadron Collider provides exciting new opportunities to study detailed aspects of QCD dynamics. Comprehensive jet substructure measurements in proton collisions have played a critical role in mapping the multi-scale evolution of jets. Jet substructure measurements in heavy flavor jets have even led to the direct observation of the suppression of collinear QCD radiation around massive quarks, i.e., dead-cone effect. Furthermore, measuring jet substructure observables in heavy-ion collisions have provided unique channels to study the mechanisms of jet interactions with the hot and dense QCD medium created in these collisions, referred to as Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). The jet-QGP interactions in heavy-ion collisions is expected to depend on the mass of the initiating parton and can be studied by comparing light- and heavy-flavor jet measurements. In this talk, I will present jet substructure results that have shaped our understanding of jet evolution in vacuum and their interactions with the QGP. I will also present on potential light- and heavy-flavor jet measurements that can provide strong constraints on jet-QGP interactions.
