The energy loss of fast partons traversing the strongly interacting matter produced in high-energy nuclear collisions is one of the most interesting observables to probe the nature of the produced medium. Analyzing data from PbPb collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV, recorded with the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector, parton energy loss is observed as a significant imbalance...

We study the evolution of a partonic jet shower propagating through a hot quark-gluon plasma. A differential equation is derived the evolution of the radiated gluon distribution as the jet propagates through the medium. Combined with the in-medium evolution of the leading parton, we compute the depletion of the energy from the jet cone by dissipation through elastic collisions with medium...

In recent years, the study of dihadron correlations has been one of the primary methods used to investigate the propagation and modification of hard-scattered partons in the QGP. Due to recent advancements in jet-finding algorithms it is now possible to use reconstructed jets in these correlation studies. This increases the kinematic reach of such analyses and improves the...

We examine the significance of elastic collisions as the suppression mechanism of high-energy partons in the strongly interacting medium formed in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. For this purpose, we have developed a Monte Carlo simulation describing the interactions of perturbatively produced, non-eikonally propagating high-energy partons with the quarks and gluons from the expanding...

We study the nuclear modification factor R_AA at RHIC and LHC energies. We account for the radiative and collisional energy losses. Both the contributions are calculated with running \alpha_s accounting for fluctuations of the jet path lengths. The effect of the thermal suppression of \alpha_s is investigated. Comparison of the theoretical results with the experimental data obtained at RHIC...

The propagation of hard partons through the strongly interacting matter created in high energy heavy-ion collisions involves widely separated scales. The methods of Effective Field Theories (EFT) can provide a factorized description at lowest nontrivial order, and a formalism where the correction to this factorization are calculable systematically order by order in the small ratios between the...
