Jet Production in p+p and d+Au Collisions √sNN = 200 GeV in STAR

Title: Jet production in p+p and d+Au collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV in STAR Author: Jan Kapitán Affiliation: Nuclear Physics Institute AS CR Supervisor: doc. Michal Šumbera, CSc., DSc., Nuclear Physics Institute AS CR Abstract: The aim of this work is to measure the effects of cold nuclear matter on jet production in √ sNN = 200 GeV d+Au collisions at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). After a brief theoretical introduction and description of the experimental setup, jet analysis and the required corrections are described. The jets are reconstructed in p+p and d+Au collisions recorded by the STAR experiment using the anti − kT jet algorithm. Inclusive jet pT spectra in d+Au collisions and their centrality dependence are compared to the reference measurement in p+p collisions and to the binary collision scaling. Di-jet correlations are studied in p+p and most central d+Au collisions to measure the kT effect and its possible nuclear broadening. These results will also be used as a baseline measurement for ongoing studies of jet production in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC. Keywords: jets, d+Au collisions, cold nuclear matter effects, STAR, RHIC
