Measurements of the centrality dependence of low-$p_T$ and high-$p_T$ particle production in proton-lead collisions at the LHC can provide unique insight into the dynamics of soft and hard scattering processes and the initial state of ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions. Recent results have shown that both soft and hard processes may be significantly influenced by event-to-event fluctuations...

Jet quenching is one of the established signatures of the Quark Gluon Plasma, and this phenomenon has been studied extensively in high energy heavy ion experiments over the last decade. Despite significant progress made in those studies, the specifics of the energy loss mechanisms and the details of jet-medium interactions require further quantitative understanding. Studies of two-dimensional...

One of the first observations of the flow of the quenched energy in imbalanced dijet events has been through the studies of transverse vector sum of particles with the CMS detector, namely the missing $p_{T}$ measurement. The results have led to new theoretical insights to order to explain the wide angle radiation, such as "jet collimation", "color decoherence", "turbulence cascade" and...

As we see expansion of bulk quark-gluon plasma (QGP) created in high-energy nuclear collisions is well described by relativistic hydrodynamics, fluidity is one of the key properties of the QGP. At the same time, the QGP has a large stopping power against propagation of jets: The jets lose a large amount of their energies while traversing the QGP fluid due to strong interactions between them....

We complete the physical picture for the evolution of a high-energy jet propagating through a weakly-coupled quark-gluon plasma by investigating the thermalization of the soft components of the jet. We argue that the following scenario should hold: the leading particle emits a significant number of mini-jets which promptly evolve via quasi-democratic branchings and thus degrade into a myriad...

We use the Linear Boltzmann Transport model for jet propagation to study gamma-triggered jets in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Since recoiled partons from both elastic scattering and induced gluon radiation processes and their further propagation are specifically considered, the simulations can provide a realistic description of not only the medium modification of the reconstructed jets...
