Calibrating Jet Imaging of QCD Collectivity

Abstract

Over the last decades, heavy ions collisions experiments at CERN and BNL have offered an unique window to study QCD under hot and dense conditions. In such high energy events a new state of matter, the quark gluon plasma, is formed and a big effort has been made towards exploring its properties, which are intimately related to the origins of the Universe and the fundamental nature of ordinary matter.
