Determination of the effect of final state energy loss on the acoplanarity and momentum imbalance in jets

Abstract

The energy loss of partons leaving the hot media created in the heavy ion collisions has been at the center of the interest of the experimental and theoretical communities of the field. Hence an increase in the transverse momentum imbalance and acoplanarity of dijets may be a way to study the parton energy loss. In order to study the effect, we have made simulations of dijet events where the intrinsic k _T of the partons, the initial and final state radiation are taken into account. The results of these simulations for p + p and Pb + Pb collisions, as a function of the center of mass energy of collision will be presented.
