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
Strange hadrons as dense matter probes
The spectra of strange hadrons have been measured in detail as a function of
centrality for a variety of collision systems and energies at RHIC. Recent
results are presented and compared to those measured at the SPS. The effects of
the system size on strange particle production and kinematics are examined. I
place specific emphasis on comparing A-A to pp production and discuss how
strangeness can be used to probe the dense matter produced in heavy-ion
collisions.Comment: Proceedings of the Strange Quark Matter Conference 200
