Today and yesterday I have been working on a toy model of a parton jet. These jets are one of the most common structures that result from collisions at the LHC here at CERN. These jets form when quarks and gluons are separated by high energy collisions. Because these particles are held so tightly together, the amount of energy required to separate them is enough to actually form new particles to join up again. The model I made uses Monte Carlo, a computational technique used to model systems with inherent randomness. This is especially useful in quantum systems due to their probabilistic nature. The picture here is an output from the model I made. The guide I used for this project can be found here:
