Description
Hard probes created through large momentum transfers are used to
study the properties of QCD matter created in heavy-ion collisions, by
comparing the measurements to those in p+p collisions. Jets, and the
"quenching" or suppression of jets in the medium created in heavy-ion
collisions, are studied through various observables. We
present the recent measurements from $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV in
Au+Au collisions, with p+p collisions as the reference, by the STAR
Collaboration. The observables include inclusive charged jets, semi-inclusive
charged jets, and di-jet transverse momentum imbalance. Additionally,
correlation measurements of direct photon+hadron and neutral pion+hadron will be
presented and discussed. Comparison of various jet quenching models
with the experimental data will also be presented.
