Jets produced in collisions of heavy nuclei lose energy as they pass through the hot, dense nuclear medium known as the quark-gluon plasma produced in the collision. The azimuthal anisotropy of jet production in heavy ion collisions measures the correlations of jets and the initial geometry of the collision, giving insight into path-length dependent energy loss in the medium. This talk will...

The energy-energy correlator (EEC) inside jets is a sensitive observable for studying jet modification in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). we employ an updated CoLBT-hydro framework in which a medium scale QM = 2.0 GeV is introduced to separate the vacuum and in-medium stages of the parton shower, enabling a more self-consistent treatment of jet evolution. Using a theoretical background...

Energy-Energy Correlator (EEC) applications to Heavy-Ion Collisions have been the subject of copious studies in recent years, namely in the exploration of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). EECs have been originally proposed to display a clear-cut scale factorization between different QCD processes, such as perturbative and non-perturbative effects, making them particularly appealing for...

Energy-Energy Correlators (EEC) probe the dynamics of the quark gluon plasma (QGP) by mapping the final-state energy by mapping the angular distribution of final-state energy. At the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV collisions provide a complementary kinematic regime to the LHC, but jet substructure measurements are challenged by lower jet energies and a large...
