5 5 Hard probes in QGP study, historical view ~98%~ 50%~ 2% hard / tot Lessons from RHIC : Need dedicated detectors for high p T and Hard probes Alice was designed before RHIC results. EMCal QGP Initial state (partonic) observations. Explosion of hard probes JET-QUENCHING New matter state. Final state (hadronic) observations. Emergence of hard probes. Measurement 200920001994 Global Observables ~1994~1990~1980 Start of construction LHCRHICSPS Hard processes : Creation or diffusion of high p T particles

6 6 Hard processes & jets Lead to jets of particles, from hadronisation of a high p T parton high p T parton jet Parton suffers energy loss travelling through the new medium Jet multiplicity modification Jet energy redistribution Jet-quenching phenomenon Transverse plan (azimuthal) Gluon radiation Jet modification

8 8 Use -jets to study medium induced jet modification (via fragmentation function modification) Use EMCal and tracking system from ALICE @ LHC to reconstruct -jets Goal

9 9 Previous experimental observations STAR@RHIC Azimuthal correlation of hadrons First -jet study

10 10 RHIC Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, BNL (USA) s NN = 200 GeV (Au-Au) s NN = 500 GeV (p-p) = 5 GeV/fm 3

11 11 Jet-quenching at RHIC Suppression of jet azimuthal correlation Adam et. al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 072304 (2003) -hadron correlation Difficulties : direct- identification First step for -jet study di-hadron correlation STAR : T. Hallman QM2008

12 12 ALICE @ LHC : new possibilities ALICE@LHC Dedicated experiment Access to new observables

13 13 LHC Large Hadron Collider, CERN (Geneva) s NN = 5500 GeV (Pb-Pb) X 28 s NN = 14000 GeV (p-p) = 15-60 GeV/fm 3 X 3-12

14 14 Central tracking + EMCal : dedicated to -jets Tracking-PID : ITS+TPC+(TOF, TRD) –Charged particles | | < 0.9 –Excellent momentum resolution up to 100 GeV/c ( p/p < 6%) –Tracking down to 100 MeV/c EMCal –Energy from neutral particles –Pb-scintillator, 13k towers – = 110, | | < 0.7 –Energy resolution ~10%/E PHOS –High resolution electromagnetic spectrometer –| | < 0.12 –220 < < 320 –Energy resolution: E /E = 3%/ E

28 28 0 Identification Identified : W(i) > 0,3

29 29 Photon identification Identified : W(i) > 0,3 Can identify photon for a -jet study !

30 30 -jet reconstruction candidate selection Azimuthal correlation Energy correlation Background fluctuations Jet axis determination

31 31 From photon to -jet candidate 1.Energy > 30 GeV (maximization direct / inclusive photons) hep-ph/0311131 2.PID W,3 (only photons) 3.Isolation criteria (no decay photons) Isolation : photon without energetic particles in the photon area p-p : no particles E > 1 GeV in cone Rc = 0,4 Pb-Pb : no particles E > 3 GeV in cone Rc = 0,3 Gustavo Conesa : CERN Thesis-2006-050 (2005)

32 32 -jet : correlation The jet is emitted back-to-back with the photon in azimuthal angle 90 % of the -jets with (+/- 0.3 rad) Determined with 100 GeV -jets in p-p collisions (no background) 180°

33 33 -jet : energy correlation E jet / E is the fraction of reconstructed energy of the jet R C =0.7 100 GeV -jets

34 34 Pb-Pb : background Need jet energy higher than background fluctuations Jet energy Mean bkg energy bkg fluctuations E

35 35 Pb-Pb : background Compromise : Low R c for bkg limitation High R c to maximize E jet in cone With E jet = 30 GeV : – R c = 0,25 – E jet / (bkg) = 2

36 36 Jet axis reconstruction p-p Pb-Pb -jets @ 100 GeV Simulation : 1 minute for a p-p collision (PYTHIA) several hundreds of particles 10 hours for a Pb-Pb collision (HIJING) several tens of thousands particles Reconstruction of -jet : Developped in AliRoot, 1GB of a daily evoluting code, no (ever) retro-compatibility.

37 37 Hump-Backed Plateau (HBP) determination -jet without background (p-p) : PYTHIA simulation -jet with background (Pb-Pb) : PYTHIA (signal) merged with HIJING (bkg) simulation -jet quenched : PYQUEN, processed on PYTHIA events 100 GeV -jets HBP reconstruction in p-p collisions HBP modification without background effect HBP modification with background effect HBP modification with realistic -jets

38 38 Hump-backed plateau in p-p collisions (100 GeV -jets) – Rc dependence – Low variations for high Rc (> 0,7) – Rc = 0,7 to determine HBP distribution

39 39 HBP Modification without background (100 GeV -jet) Without bkg : modification of hump-backed plateau easy to measure

40 40 Pb-Pb : background (100 GeV -jet) How to subtract the background ?

41 41 Pb-Pb : subtract background (100 GeV -jet) Background of low p T particles pollutes HBP for >3.8 Background subtraction extends HBP measurement up to = 4.2

42 42 Background effect (100 GeV -jet) Subtraction efficient for 1< <4,2 with 100 GeV - jets Need to test with realistic -jet energy (about 30 GeV)

43 43 Modification of HBP with realistic -jets Select -jets with 30<E<40 GeV Error <10% for 0.5< < 3.2 Main error contribution : background Reconstructed hump-backed plateau show the two domains : Decrease of high p T particles Enhancement of low p T particles Highlight the jet energy redistribution Realistic spectrum : 1 year g-jets @ LHC simulated from 30 to 100 GeV

44 44 Summary Particles identification : For 7<E<50 GeV : It is possible to differentiate photons, neutral pions other hadrons (efficiency ~ 50 % et purity ~ 60 %) This Method has been integrated in AliRoot framework. High p T photons are identifiable in EMCal -jets : It is possible to reconstruct and study -jets with energy higher than 30 GeV. The range for hump-backed plateau study is 0,5< <3,2 (error <10% (Pb-Pb)).

45 45 Particle IDentification – Add a track matching with TPC & EMCal to improve particle identification – Add an automatic procedure of 0 parametrisation -jets – Improve the background estimation – Test other algorithms for jet reconstruction – Test with a Rc dependant of the energy for jet reconstruction Outlooks
