Photon-tagged correlations in heavy-ion collisions: kinematic requirements and a case study

  • 1. CERN, PH Department, TH Division, 1211 Geneva 23 (Switzerland)

Description

Photon-tagged correlations may be useful to determine how the dense partonic medium produced in heavy-ion collisions affects the fragmentation of high-energy quarks and gluons into a leading hadron. In these proceedings, I discuss the kinematic requirements for the hadron and the prompt photon transverse momentum cuts. A case study at LHC energy, tagging on ptransverseγ≥20 GeV and ptransverseγ≥ 50 GeV photons, is then briefly examined
