It is found that both models require a reduction of the jet-medium coupling from RHIC to LHC to account for the measured pion nuclear modification factor. In the case of the parton-jet nuclear modification factor, however, which serves as a lower bound for the LO jet nuclear modification factor of reconstructed jets, the extracted data can be characterized without a reduced jet-medium coupling at LHC energies. It is concluded that when the reconstructed jets are sensitive to both quarks and gluons and thus provide more information than the pion nuclear modification factor, their information regarding the jet-medium coupling is limited due to the superposition with NLO and medium effects. Hence, a detailed description of the underlying physics requires both the leading hadron and the reconstructed jet nuclear modification factor. Unfortunately, the results for both the pion and the parton-jet nuclear modification factor are insensitive to the jet-path dependence of the models considered.展开更多

The estimates are based on the theoretical perturbative QCD predictions for the productions of γγ at next-to-next-to-leading-order, jet＋jet and γ＋jet at next-to-leading-order, for their corresponding single-scattering cross sections. The cross sections and expected event rates for γγ＋2 jets from double parton scattering, after typical acceptance and selections, are given for proton-proton collisions with the collision energy s=13 TeV and integrated luminosity of 100 fb-1 planned for the following years, and also s=14 TeV with 3000 fb 1 of integrated luminosity as the LHC design.展开更多
