Search for Quasiparticle Scattering in the Quark-Gluon Plasma with Jet Splittings in 𝑝𝑝 and Pb-Pb Collisions at √𝑠NN=5.02 TeV
The ALICE Collaboration reports measurements of the large relative transverse momentum (𝑘𝑇) component of jet substructure in 𝑝𝑝 and Pb-Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair √𝑠NN=5.02 TeV. Enhancement in the yield of such large-𝑘T emissions in head-on Pb-Pb collisions is predicted to arise from partonic scattering with quasiparticles of the quark-gluon p…
