Description

I will discuss some basic ideas about changes in the chemical composition of QCD jets traversing nuclear matter. I will focus in particular on "conversions" of jets in quark gluon plasma and their effect on spectra and azimuthal asymmetries of high-PT hadrons and photons. I discuss possible signatures at RHIC and the LHC heavy ion program and review recent experimental results.
