Understanding quark-gluon plasma with hot jets

Balbeer Singh

University of South Dakota

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 in the initial state hard scattering event,
and (2) their evolution from the perturbative hard scale to non-perturbative hadronization scale retain imprints of different stages of QGP evolution. In this context, energy-energy correlators have been of great interest due to their
less sensitivity to soft radiation and are potential probes to understand the emergent phenomena of many-body QCD interactions contributing to the observed jet quenching in HICs. I will discuss a novel factorized framework that not
only separates jet dynamics from the  physics of the medium but also allows for the resummation of the relevant logarithms appearing in the fixed order perturbative calculation. I will also discuss the impact of  BFKL resummation on
energy-correlators for HICs.
