Overview on jet results from STAR
Full jet reconstruction allows access to the parton kinematics over a large
energy domain and can be used to constrain the mechanisms of energy loss in
heavy-ion collisions. Such measurements are challenging at RHIC, due to the
high-multiplicity environments created in heavy-ion collisions. In these
proceedings, we report an overview of the results on full jet reconstruction
obtained by the STAR experiment. Jet measurements in 200 GeV p+p show that jets
are calibrated pQCD probes and provide a baseline for jet measurements in Au+Au
collisions. Inclusive differential jet production cross sections and ratios are
reported for central 200 GeV Au+Au collisions and compared to p+p. We also
present measurements of fully reconstructed di-jets at mid-rapidity, and
compare spectra and fragmentation functions in p+p and central Au+Au
collisions.Comment: Proceedings for the 26th WWND conferenc
Reconstructed Jets at RHIC
To precisely measure jets over a large background such as pile up in high
luminosity p+p collisions at LHC, a new generation of jet reconstruction
algorithms is developed. These algorithms are also applicable to reconstruct
jets in the heavy ion environment where large event multiplicities are
produced. Energy loss in the medium created in heavy ion collisions are already
observed indirectly via inclusive hadron distributions and di-hadron
correlations. Jets can be used to study this energy loss in detail with reduced
biases. We review the latest results on jet-medium interactions as seen in A+A
collisions at RHIC, focusing on the recent progress on jet reconstruction in
heavy ion collisions.Comment: Proceedings for the 26th Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamic
