Description
Jets are an excellent probe to understand the dynamics of many-body QCD interactions under extreme conditions such as the one created in heavy ion collisions (HICs) as: (1) they are produced during the initial state hard scattering events, and (2) their evolution from the perturbative production scale to non-perturbative hadronization scale retain imprints of different stages of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) evolution. In this context, energy correlators, measured on jets, have been of great interest due to their increased sensitivity to medium-induced jet dynamics and are potential probes to unravel the emergent phenomena in the many-body QCD interactions. In this seminar, I will discuss a novel open quantum system EFT based factorized approach that, for the first time, not only separates vacuum and medium-induced jet dynamics to all orders in perturbation theory but also systematically incorporates all emergent scales of jet-medium interaction dynamics. I will also discuss a novel formation time based energy correlator observable which separates various jet-medium interaction dynamics.
