Exploring Heavy-Quark Energy Loss via b-tagging in Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC

摘要

A strategy to study flavor-dependent parton energy loss by tagging heavy quark jets in p+p, p+Pb and Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC is discussed. Estimates for production cross-sections and experimental techniques employed at collider detectors to search for Q(bar Q) jets are presented and a brief evaluation of the capabilities of CMS, ALICE and ATLAS detectors are given.
