Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) is an effective field theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) for processes where there are energetic, nearly lightlike degrees of freedom interacting with one another via soft radiation. SCET has found many applications in high-energy and nuclear physics, especially in recent years the physics of hadronic jets in e+e-, lepton-hadron, hadron-hadron, and heavy-ion collisions. SCET can be used to factorize multi-scale cross sections in these processes into single-scale hard, collinear, and soft functions, and to evolve these through the renormalization group to resum large logarithms of ratios of the scales that appear in the QCD perturbative expansion, as well as to study properties of nonperturbative effects. We overview the elementary concepts of SCET and describe how they can be applied in high-energy and nuclear physics.

Jet quenching effects have been widely used to study the properties of strongly-interacting matter, quark-gluon plasma, in heavy-ion collisions. Flavor tagging in heavy-ion collisions plays an important role to reveal the medium parton showers for quark and gluon evolution. Combining with kinematic information, the average jet charge can be used to separate the contribution of different jet flavors, which is defined as the momentum- weighted sum of the charges of hadrons inside a given jet. Using soft-collinear effective theory with medium interactions, we investigate the factorization of the jet charge in QCD medium. We provide predictions for jet charge distributions and their modifications compared to the ones in proton-proton collisions.

Strange hadrons, especially multistrange hadrons, are good probes for the early partonic stage of heavy ion collisions due to their small hadronic cross sections. In this paper, I give a brief review on the elliptic flow measurements of strange and multistrange hadrons in relativistic heavy ion collisions at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The impact of the kaon polarization in nuclear matter on the K− yield in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions is investigated. Our scenario of the strange particle production and dynamics is based on an expanding fireball model. This allows for a proper account of in-medium effects. A relation between observed K+ and K− yields is derived. Differential K− cross-sections are calculated and compared with available experimental data taken at various collision energies. It turns out that in-medium effects can modify the K− yields by factors 2 to 5 at beam energies between 2 and 1 AGeV.

We present the measurement of jet production performed with the ATLAS detector in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, using an integrated luminosity of 17 nb−1. We show the inclusive jet cross sections and jet shapes. The expected performance and strategy for the jet reconstruction in heavy ion collisions is also discussed.
