The sPHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is designed to study the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) using high-energy jets as calibrated hard probes. With high-resolution calorimetry and tracking, sPHENIX enables precision measurements of jet substructure observables that are sensitive to medium-induced modifications of parton showers. Jet substructure...
The study of jets and jet fragmentation plays a large role in understanding parton evolution within the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). In QCD emissions from jets, photons can fragment from quarks, but these fragmentation photons have not been thoroughly investigated in the context of Heavy-ion Collisions. They could offer insight for investigating jet energy loss mechanisms in the QGP medium. This...
Correlation functions of the asymptotic energy and charge flux connect the macroscopic structure of collider events to the underlying microscopic dynamics of the Standard Model. This talk presents measurements of the track energy-energy correlator and the one-point charge correlator in DELPHI Open Data in e+e- collisions. The measured energy-energy correlator is compared to record-precision...
We present a novel measurement of in-jet azimuthal asymmetry at $\sqrt{s}=91.2\,\mathrm{GeV}$ in $e^+e^-$ collisions, providing a precision vacuum reference and a controlled bridge to possible QGP-like collectivity in heavy-ion collisions. Using archived ALEPH data and validated simulations, we extract fully unfolded, per-jet constituent Fourier harmonics $V_n$ $(n=1\text{-}3)$ with respect to...
