Exploring system size dependence of jet modification in heavy-ion collisions
arxiv(2024)
Abstract
In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, jet quenching in quark-gluon plasma
(QGP) has been extensively studied, revealing important insights into the
properties of the color deconfined nuclear matter. Over the past decade, there
has been a surge of interest in the exploration of QGP droplets in small
collision systems like p+p or p+A collisions driven by the observation of
collective flow phenomena. However, the absence of jet quenching, a key QGP
signature, in these systems poses a puzzle. Understanding how jet quenching
evolves with system size is crucial for uncovering the underlying physics. In
this study, we employ the linear Boltzmann transport (LBT) model to investigate
jet modification in ^96Ru+^96Ru, ^96Zr+^96Zr, and
^197Au+^197Au collisions at √(s_NN)=200 GeV. Our
findings highlight the system size sensitivity exhibited by jet nuclear
modification factor (R_AA) and jet shape (ρ), contrasting to
the relatively weak responses of jet mass (M), girth (g) and momentum
dispersion (p_TD) to system size variations. These results offer
invaluable insights into the system size dependence of the QGP properties and
to be validated experimentally at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider.
