The development of a background field approach to parton propagation in matter, building upon soft-collinear effective theory, has allowed us to derive light parton splitting functions a take first steps toward unifying parton showers in proton and heavy in collisions. In this talk I will describe how the in-medium modification of parton showers can be extended to heavy quark jets. I will...

We calculate the momentum sharing and angular separation distributions between the leading subjets inside a reconstructed jet, as well as the jet mass distribution modification in heavy ion collisions. These observables are sensitive to the early and late stages of the in-medium parton shower evolution and allow us to probe the quark-gluon plasma across a wide range of energy scales. We use...
