Description

This talk will present a global view of what has been learned to date from ALICE data about the interaction of jets with the hot medium generated in high energy nuclear collisions at the LHC. The discussion will incorporate measurements of inclusive charged and identified hadrons, hadron correlations, heavy flavor measurements, and first ALICE measurements of fully reconstructed jets, together with comparison to model calculations. I will also give a perspective on open questions in this area.
