Energy-energy correlators in jets across collision systems and parton flavors
The two-point energy-energy correlator (EEC) is a novel jet sub-structure observable probing the correlation of energy flow within jets. In these proceedings, three EEC measurements performed by the ALICE Collaboration are reported. First is a finalized measurement in proton-proton collisions, where the angular dependence of the EEC cross-section shows a separation of the perturbative and non-perturbative regimes. The first EEC measurement is reported in heavy-flavor jets, tagged via a fully-reconstructed D 0 meson. Here, comparison to inclusive pp jets provides insights into the flavor dynamics of QCD fragmentation and hadronization. Finally, the first measurement of EECs in p–Pb collisions is presented. By comparing the results to pp, modifications in jet evolution caused by the presence of a cold nuclear medium can be studied.
