Vacuum-like jet fragmentation in a QCD medium

by Alfred H. Mueller (Columbia University)

Europe/Rome
Description

In the leading double logarithmic approximation the decay
of a jet in a QCD medium is only slightly different from
that of a vacuum decay, due to a small breaking of the
color coherence of the jet.
This difference can lead, however, to a significant
enhancement in the soft spectrum within the jet.
