Over the last decades, the theoretical picture of how hadronic jets interact with nuclear matter has been extended to account for the medium’s finite longitudinal length and expansion. However, only recently a first-principle approach has been developed that allows to couple the jet evolution to the medium flow and anisotropic structure. In this talk, I will review these developments, and...
We introduce a sub-eikonal anisotropic contribution to jet-broadening, "jet drift", that couples to the flow of the nuclear medium, showing that this effect results in a deflection of hard partons, and thus jets, in the direction of the medium flow. Next, we study this effect in both toy models and a full-fledged hybrid transport simulation of √s = 5.02 TeV PbPb collisions at the LHC, tracking...
In hadronic collisions, heavy quarks are produced in hard scattering processes with large momentum transfer, which then generate a parton shower that develops into a jet. In heavy-ion collisions, where quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is produced, heavy quarks interact with the QGP constituents, losing energy which leads to quenching of the produced jets. In this process, the parton shower can be...
