A closer look inside nature’s perfect fluid - Tech Explorist

In 2014, scientists used an atomic X-ray imaging technique called jet tomography to study the properties of these jet particles.

According to scientists, a smaller Mach wave signal called the diffusion wake could give a clue.

A new study by the scientists from Berkeley Lab suggests that another technique they invented called 2D jet tomography can help locate the diffusion wake’s ghostly signal.

For the first time, our simulations show one can use 2D jet tomography to pick up the tiny signals of the diffusion wake in the quark-gluon plasma.”.

Wang said, “Their unique approach “will help you get rid of all this hay in your stack—help you focus on this needle.” The jet particles’ supersonic signal has a unique shape that looks like a cone—with a diffusion wake trailing behind, like ripples of water in the wake of a fast-moving boat.

Once the diffusion wake is located in the quark-gluon plasma, you can distinguish its signal from the other particles in the background.”?
