The phenomenon of jet quenching indicates that partons lose energy as they traverse the hot dense medium. By restricting a trigger jet in azimuth relative to the event plane, we are given another tool, which allows us to study the path length dependence of medium modifications. Measurements of angular correlations relative to the event plane between reconstructed R = 0 . 4 full jets and charged hadrons are presented in mid-peripheral Au–Au collisions at s N N = 200 GeV with the STAR detector at RHIC. A robust and precise method, known as the Reaction Plane Fit (RPF) method is used to remove the complex, flow-dominated heavy-ion background from the correlation functions. Quantified through yield ratios, we study the event plane dependence of jet-correlated yields. The yield ratios are compared to prior measurements made by the ALICE Collaboration in Pb–Pb collisions at s N N = 2 . 76 TeV. With increased statistics and smaller uncertainties, the results from STAR show a similar conclusion to that of ALICE, that within uncertainties this measurement shows no significant path length dependence of medium modifications.

In these proceedings, we review the production of both light and heavy flavor dijets in heavy ion collisions and highlight a promising observable to expose their distinct signatures. We propose the modification of dijet invariant mass distributions in heavy ion collisions as a new observable that exhibits striking sensitivity to the heavy quark mass dependence of in-medium parton showers. This observable has the advantage of amplifying the effects of jet quenching in contrast to conventional observables, such as the dijet momentum imbalance shift, which involve cancellations of such effects and, hence, result in less pronounced signals. Predictions are presented for Au+Au collisions at √SNN = 200 GeV to guide the future sPHENIX program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.

Large transverse momentum jets provide unique tools to study dense QCD matter in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Results from RHIC on suppression of high transverse momentum particles in Au + Au collisions indicate a significant energy loss of leading partons in the dense and strongly interacting matter formed in these collisions. The LHC will collide Pb ions at [Formula: see text], where the cross section of hard scattering will increase dramatically. Large production rates, the large acceptance of the CMS calorimeters and tracking system, combined with the capability of triggering on jets, will extend the transverse momentum reach of charged particle spectra and nuclear modification factors up to pT > 200 GeV / c .

Full jet reconstruction in heavy-ion collisions is a promising tool for the quantitative study of properties of the dense medium produced at RHIC. In addition to baseline measurements in p + p , results from d + Au collisions are needed to disentangle initial state nuclear effects from medium-induced k T broadening and jet quenching. We present mid-rapidity inclusive jet p T spectra and di-jet correlations (k T ) in 200 GeV p + p and d + Au collisions from the 2007-2008 RHIC run.
