Enhancing charge ratio sensitivity to hadronization effects via jet selections on resolved SoftDrop splitting

The study of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at ultrarelativistic energies can be performed in a controlled environment through lepton-hadron deep inelastic scatterings. In such collisions, the high-energy partonic emissions that follow from the ejected hard partons are accurately described by perturbative QCD. However, the lower energy scales at which quarks and gluons experience color confinement, i.e., hadronization mechanism, fall outside the validity regions for perturbative calculations, requiring phenomenological models tuned to data to describe it. As such, hadronization physics cannot be currently derived from first principles alone. Monte Carlo event generators are useful tools to describe these processes as they simulate both the perturbative and the nonperturbative interactions, with model-dependent energy scales that control parton dynamics. This work employs jets—experimental reconstructions of final-state particles likely to have a common partonic origin—to inspect this transition further. Although originally proposed to circumvent hadronization effects, we show that jets can be utilized as probes of nonperturbative phenomena via their substructure. The charge correlation ratio was recently shown to be sensitive to hadronization effects. Our work further improves this sensitivity to nonperturbative scales by introducing a new selection based on the relative placement of the within the clustering tree, defined as the unclustering that resolves the jet’s leading charged particles.

Excitons in Bilayer MoS 2 Displaying a Colossal Electric Field Splitting and Tunable Magnetic Response

van der Waals heterostructures composed of transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers (TMDCs) are characterized by their truly rich excitonic properties which are determined by their structural, geometric, and electronic properties: In contrast to pure monolayers, electrons and holes can be hosted in different materials, resulting in highly tunable dipolar many-particle complexes. However, for genuine spatially indirect excitons, the dipolar nature is usually accompanied by a notable quenching of the exciton oscillator strength. Via electric and magnetic field dependent measurements, we demonstrate that a slightly biased pristine bilayer MoS 2 hosts strongly dipolar excitons, which preserve a strong oscillator strength. We scrutinize their giant dipole moment, and shed further light on their orbital and valley physics via bias-dependent magnetic field measurements.
