Jet Cross-Sections At 8 Tev With The Alice Experiment., Andrew Castro
Doctoral Dissertations
Hadronic jets are created in the earliest stages of a high energy collision due to a hard interaction between two partons. ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is one of the main detectors located at the Large Hadron Collider. By using the ALICE Time Projection Chamber and Electromagnetic Calorimeter inclusive jets can be reconstructed over a wide kinematic range. Measuring jets in proton-proton collisions serves as a baseline measurement for understanding energy loss in the nuclear matter and the processes by which quarks form into hadrons. Inclusive jet cross-sections and their ratios were measured in this thesis using the 8 …
