TLDR
In this article, the dijet momentum balance and angular correlations are studied as a function of collision centrality and leading jet transverse momentum for PbPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 276 TeV.
Abstract: 
Dijet production in PbPb collisions at a nucleon–nucleon center-of-mass energy of 276 TeV is studied with the CMS detector at the LHC A data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 150 μb−1 is analyzed Jets are reconstructed using combined information from tracking and calorimetry, using the anti-kT algorithm with R=03 The dijet momentum balance and angular correlations are studied as a function of collision centrality and leading jet transverse momentum For the most peripheral PbPb collisions, good agreement of the dijet momentum balance distributions with pp data and reference calculations at the same collision energy is found, while more central collisions show a strong imbalance of leading and subleading jet transverse momenta attributed to the jet-quenching effect The dijets in central collisions are found to be more unbalanced than the reference, for leading jet transverse momenta up to the highest values studied

QCD and strongly coupled gauge theories: challenges and perspectives

Nora Brambilla, +53 more
- 21 Oct 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in theory and in experiment, are highlighted, highlighting how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a broad sweep of physical problems, in settings ranging from astrophysics and cosmology to strongly coupled, complex systems in particle and condensed-matter physics, as well as searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.

Heavy Ion Collisions: The Big Picture, and the Big Questions

Wit Busza, +3 more
- 13 Feb 2018 - 
TL;DR: The physics of heavy ion collisions quickly form a droplet of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) with a remarkably small viscosity as discussed by the authors, which is perhaps the simplest form of complex quantum matter that we know of.

Heavy-quarkonium suppression in p-A collisions from parton energy loss in cold QCD matter

François Arleo, +1 more
- 20 Mar 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of parton energy loss in cold nuclear matter on heavy-quarkonium suppression in p-A collisions were studied, and it was shown from first principles that the medium induced energy loss scales as E.

The anti-$k_t$ jet clustering algorithm

Matteo Cacciari, +2 more
- 16 Apr 2008 - 
TL;DR: The anti-k-t algorithm as mentioned in this paper behaves like an idealised cone algorithm, in that jets with only soft fragmentation are conical, active and passive areas are equal, the area anomalous dimensions are zero, the non-global logarithms are those of a rigid boundary and the Milan factor is universal.
