Jet quenching
Abstract
Description
Jet quenching studies play a prominent role in our current understanding of ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. In this review I first present the available formalism to compute medium-induced gluon radiation. Then I discuss its effect on single particle spectra, with dedicated attention to the case of the radiating parton being a massive quark. Next I examine more differential observables like jet shapes and multiplicities, and the consequences of flow on radiative energy loss. I conclude with some remarks.
