sPHENIX Jets Substructure from Calorimeter Jets

ORAL

Abstract

The new sPHENIX detector at Brookhaven's National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is a state-of-the-art jet and heavy flavor physics detector that includes hadronic calorimetry at mid-rapidity, for the first time at RHIC. Jets form from an initial hard parton scattering and are a good probe of Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD). Using calorimetric jets, constructed from the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters, and their substructure in p+p collisions, we can compare to perturbative calculations also explore non-perturbative processes such as hadronization. With this talk, I plan to discuss the progress towards jet measurements in the newly collected p+p collisions dataset, focusing on anti-kT jets with different jet resolution parameters (R) and their substructure observables.
