Towards an unbiased jet energy loss measurement by Liliana Apolinário, Lénea Luís, José Guilherme Milhano, João M. Silva

“…Further, we use this procedure to establish that the difference between inclusive jet and γ+jet nuclear modification factors (R AA ) is dominated by differences in the spectral shape, leaving the colour charge of the jet initiating parton with a lesser role to play. Additionally, we compare Q AA to an experimentally proposed proxy for fractional jet energy loss, S loss , showing that both quantities are similar, although the former provides a more clear physical interpretation. …”

Universal validity of the second law of information thermodynamics by Shintaro Minagawa, M. Hamed Mohammady, Kenta Sakai, Kohtaro Kato, Francesco Buscemi

“…Such studies have led to the conclusion, now widely accepted in the community, that Maxwell’s Demon and the second law of thermodynamics can peacefully coexist because any gain provided by the demon must be offset by the cost of performing the measurement and resetting the demon’s memory to its initial state. Statements of this kind are collectively referred to as second laws of information thermodynamics and have recently been extended to include quantum theoretical scenarios. …”
