Description

Energy correlators are useful observables for studying quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In particular, the two-point energy correlator offers a clean visualization of the confinement transition. I will present a calculation of the two-point correlator in the simplest holographic model of confinement, based on a warped extra dimension with an IR brane. This is the first AdS/CFT computation of energy correlators in a confining theory.

The results capture some, but not all, of the qualitative features of QCD energy correlators. I expect I can soon apply these techniques to more realistic models of confinement, which should fix some of the deviations from QCD.
