Description
The formation of Mach cones
is studied in a full $(3+1)$-dimensional setup of ultrarelativistic
heavy-ion collisions, considering a transverse and longitudinal
expanding medium at RHIC energies.
For smooth initial conditions and central collisions
the jet-medium interaction is investigated using high-energy
jets and various values of the shear
viscosity over entropy density ratio, $\eta/s$.
For small viscosities, the formation of Mach cones
is proven, while for larger viscosities the characteristic structures
smear out and vanish eventually. The formation of a double-peak
structure both in a single and a multiple jet event is discussed.
