- Title:
- Harnessing intricacies of jets for breakthroughs in QCD
- Description:
-
Jets have been pivotal in the advancement of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) since its inception, serving as a bridge between collider phenomenology and the formal language of field theory. Modern jet analysis empowers us to achieve significant breakthroughs in our understanding of QCD and enables direct comparisons with experimental data.In this talk, I will outline several key research areas within jet physics that I am spearheading. These include deepening our understanding of heavy quark dynamics, investigating the effects of the medium, unraveling the hadronization process, and probing spin physics. I will highlight the application of these studies at current colliders like the LHC and RHIC, and look ahead to precision measurements at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) to discuss how perturbative techniques serve to enhance our understanding of the intriguing non-perturbative aspects of QCD.
