We introduce heavy-flavor energy correlators, $\langle \Psi |\mathcal{E}_{\mathcal{H}}(\vec{n}_1) \mathcal{E}_{\mathcal{H}}(\vec{n}_2)|\Psi \rangle$, as a powerful observable for profiling partonic splittings and characterizing heavy-flavor fragmentation. We present its collinear factorization, perform resummation, and demonstrate the angular distribution's sensitivity to both the heavy-quark pair splitting and their subsequent fragmentation. We then apply the heavy-flavor EEC to probe medium-induced effects, revealing its sensitivity to medium modifications to heavy-quark pair splitting functions and to the medium's spatial structure.

  1. In-medium QCD splittings beyond the soft, large-$N_c$ and harmonic-oscillator approximations all at once

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    First complete numerical solution of BDMPS-Z equations for in-medium QCD splittings, going beyond soft, large-Nc and harmonic-oscillator approximations.

  2. Logarithmically-accurate showers with massive quarks

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    PanScales final-state showers now include quark masses at NLL accuracy while keeping original accuracy for massless observables.

  3. Full energy fraction and angular dependence of medium-induced splittings in the large-$N_c$ limit

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In large-Nc and harmonic oscillator limits, medium-induced splittings are computed analytically double-differential in z and θ, with an improved semi-hard approximation validated for high-energy partons.

  4. Dissecting Parton Showers with Multi-Point Energy Correlators

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Projections of four-point energy correlators cleanly separate spin from kinematic azimuthal correlations inside jets; spin effects are subdominant in accessible LHC kinematics.

  5. Mapping jet substructure in heavy-ion collisions with track functions

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Track functions exhibit model-dependent modifications to higher moments in heavy-ion jets, with RG flows qualitatively preserved, enabling discrimination between jet quenching pictures.

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Energy-energy correlators in heavy-ion collisions exhibit classical hydrodynamic scaling from collective flow at large angles within the small-angle regime, collective modes at smaller angles, and light-ray OPE at eve...

  7. Energy-energy correlators inside single inclusive jets in heavy-ion collisions with CoLBT-hydro model

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Updated CoLBT-hydro simulations with Q_M=2.0 GeV reproduce CMS in-jet EEC data, validate background subtraction, and show path-length and diffusion-wake effects.

  8. Glauber quark and gluon contributions to quark energy loss at next-to-leading order and next-to-leading twist

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Derives four scattering kernels for quark energy loss in nuclei at NLO and NLT, incorporating Glauber quarks and gluons plus mass and coherence effects.
