[Theory-seminars] Theory seminar tomorrow

[Raza Sufian]

Dear All,

Here is a reminder for the theory seminar tomorrow:

Bluejeans connection: https://bluejeans.com/610445877

Theory seminar:
Monday, August 26, 1:00PM, Room L102
Ivan Vitev (Los Alamos),``Effective field theories in reactions with nuclei: from jets to quarkonia''
Abstract:
In this talk I will show how modern effective theories of QCD can be generalized to include parton interactions in nuclear matter. This allows us to develop a first principles framework for precise theoretical calculations in reactions with nuclei, such as e+A, p+A, and A+A  in current and future collider facilities. As a first example I will discuss Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) and the derivation of a full set of in-medium branching processes to any order in the  opacity of nuclear matter. Recent application to b-jet production and jet charge modification in heavy ion collisions will be shown. As a second example I will discuss  Non-relativistic Quantum Chromodynamics (NRQCD). NRQCD with Glauber gluons can provide for the first time a universal microscopic description of the interaction of heavy quarkonia with a strongly interacting medium, consistently applicable to a range of phases, such as cold nuclear matter, dense hadron gas, and quark-gluon plasma. Its connection to quarkonium phenomenology in heavy ion reactions will be elucidated.

Thank you.

Carlota, Miguel & Raza
