Jets, collimated sprays of particles, are considered as an ideal tool for studies of the theory of strong interaction (quantum chromodynamics, QCD) in proton-proton collisions at high energies accessible at the largest colliders in the world, RHIC at BNL and LHC at CERN. Moreover, in heavy-ion collisions, jets serve as a valuable probe of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a new state of matter in which basic building blocks of matter, quarks and gluons are deconfined and resemble the state of our Universe in the first moments after the Big Bang.

High statistics data collected by the STAR experiment at RHIC in combination with new analysis techniques allow to study jets including also their sub-structure and bring thus new, more detailed information about QCD and QGP properties. The project is focused on the experimental task of jet reconstruction and its direct application to the STAR data along with performing various Monte Carlo simulations and applying advanced analysis techniques (multidimensional unfolding, machine learning). During the project the up to 4-month mobility to Yale University is anticipated.
