Optoelectronic electronic skins, or e-skins, introduce electronic sensing and displays on the surface of human skin.

We study the properties of the strongly-coupled quark-gluon plasma with a multistage model of heavy ion collisions that combines the TRENTo initial condition ansatz, free-streaming, viscous relativistic hydrodynamics, and a relativistic hadronic transport. A model-to-data comparison with Bayesian inference is performed, revisiting assumptions made in previous studies. The role of parameter priors is studied in light of their importance towards the interpretation of results. We emphasize the use of closure tests to perform extensive validation of the analysis workflow before comparison with observations. Our study combines measurements from the Large Hadron Collider and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, achieving a good simultaneous description of a wide range of hadronic observables from both colliders. The selected experimental data provide reasonable constraints on the shear and the bulk viscosities of the quark-gluon plasma at T ∼ 150-250 MeV, but their constraining power degrades at higher temperatures T 250 MeV. Furthermore, these viscosity constraints are found to depend significantly on how viscous corrections are handled in the transition from hydrodynamics to the hadronic transport. Several other model parameters, including the free-streaming time, show similar model sensitivity, while the initial condition parameters associated with the TRENTo ansatz are quite robust against variations of the particlization prescription. We also report on the sensitivity of individual observables to the various model parameters. Finally, Bayesian model selection is used to quantitatively compare the agreement with measurements for different sets of model assumptions, including different particlization models and different choices for which parameters are allowed to vary between RHIC and LHC energies.

We study the nuclear modifications of full jets and their structures in relativistic heavy-ion collisions including the effect of hydrodynamic medium response to jet quenching. To study the evolutions of the full jet shower and the traversed medium with energy and momentum exchanges between them, we formulate a coupled jet-fluid model consisting of a set of jet transport equations and relativistic hydrodynamics equations with source terms. In our model, the full jet shower interacts with the medium and gets modified via collisional and radiative processes during the propagation. Meanwhile, the energy and momentum are deposited from the jet shower to the medium and then evolve with the medium hydrodynamically. The full jet defined by a cone size in the final state includes the jet shower and the particles produced from jet-induced flow. We apply our model to calculate the full jet energy loss and the nuclear modifications of jet rate and shape in Pb+Pb collisions at $2.76{\rm A~TeV}$. It is found that the inclusion of jet-induced flow contribution leads to stronger jet-cone size dependence for jet energy loss and jet suppression. Jet-induced flow also has a significant contribution to jet shape function and dominates at large angles away from the jet axis.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figure

We study the transport dynamics of momenta deposited from jets in ultrarelativistic heavyion collisions. Assuming that the high-energy partons traverse expanding quark-gluon fluids and are subject to lose their energy and momentum, we simulate dijet asymmetric events by solving relativistic hydrodynamic equations numerically without linearization in the fully (3+1)-dimensional coordinate. Mach cones are formed and strongly broadened by radial flow of the background medium. As a result, the yield of low-pT particles increases at large angles from the jet axis and compensates the dijet momentum imbalance inside the jet-cone. This provides an intimate link between the medium excitation by jets and results in dijet asymmetric events observed by the CMS Collaboration. Introduction.-The quark gluon plasma (QGP), supposed to have filled the early universe a few microseconds after the Big Bang, is the deconfined state of quarks and gluons realized under an extremely hot and dense condition [1]. In heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNL and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the QGP is created experimentally. By colliding relativistically accelerated heavy nuclei, extremely high-temperature is achieved in the experiments. From the analysis of experimental data of elliptic flow, it has turned out that the QGP behaves like an almost-perfect fluid because of the strong interacton among the constituent particles [2-6].Jets, namely partons with large transverse momenta, are created in hadron or nuclear collisions at collider energies. In nuclear collisions, these partons are subject to traverse a hot and dense medium. While traversing the medium, the parton loses its energy through strong interaction between them [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Through the amount of lost energy, one can extract one of the fundamental properties of the medium, namely stopping power of the QGP against high-energy partons. In addition, the energymomentum deposition from jets excites the medium and propagation of this medium excitation may give information about the transport coefficients and the sound velocity of the QGP. Thus jet quenching phenomena provide a unique opportunity to probe the properties of the primordial matter composed of elementary particles in quantum chromodynamics (QCD).The next question is where and how this lost energy diffuses inside the medium. In experiments, a large number of low-p T hadrons at large angles from an axis of the quenched jet is observed in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC [14]. The total transverse momentum of these low-p T particles together with the quenched jet balances that of
