Probing medium-induced jet splitting and energy loss in heavy-ion collisions
The nuclear modification of jet splitting in relativistic heavy-ion
collisions at RHIC and the LHC energies is studied based on the higher twist
formalism. Assuming coherent energy loss for the two splitted subjets, a
non-monotonic jet energy dependence is found for the nuclear modification of
jet splitting function: strongest modification at intermediate jet energies
whereas weaker modification for larger or smaller jet energies. Combined with
the smaller size and lower density of the QGP medium at RHIC than at the LHC,
this explains the CMS-STAR groomed jet puzzle -- strong nuclear modification of
the momentum sharing distribution at the LHC whereas no obvious
modification of the distribution at RHIC. In contrast, the observed
nuclear modification pattern of the groomed jet distribution cannot be
explained solely by independent energy loss of the two subjets. Our result may
be tested in future measurements of groomed jets with lower jet energies at the
LHC and larger jet energies at RHIC, for different angular separations between
the two subjets.Comment: 10 pages, 12 figure
Indecomposable representations and oscillator realizations of the exceptional Lie algebra G_2
In this paper various representations of the exceptional Lie algebra G_2 are
investigated in a purely algebraic manner, and multi-boson/multi-fermion
realizations are obtained. Matrix elements of the master representation, which
is defined on the space of the universal enveloping algebra of G_2, are
explicitly determined. From this master representation, different
indecomposable representations defined on invariant subspaces or quotient
spaces with respect to these invariant subspaces are discussed. Especially, the
elementary representations of G_2 are investigated in detail, and the
corresponding six-boson realization is given. After obtaining explicit forms of
all twelve extremal vectors of the elementary representation with the highest
weight {\Lambda}, all representations with their respective highest weights
related to {\Lambda} are systematically discussed. For one of these
representations the corresponding five-boson realization is constructed.
Moreover, a new three-fermion realization from the fundamental representation
(0,1) of G_2 is constructed also.Comment: 29 pages, 4 figure
