A method for analysing the jet azimuthal anisotropy in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions

Abstract

The azimuthal anisotropy of jet spectra due to energy loss of jet partons in azimuthally non-symmetric volume of dense quark-gluon matter is considered for semi-central nuclear interactions at collider energies. We develop the techniques for event-by-event analysing the jet azimuthal anisotropy using particle and energy elliptic flow, and suggest a method for calculation of coefficient of jet azimuthal anisotropy without reconstruction of nuclear reaction plane.
