Modification of jets transitioning through the quark–gluon plasma (QGP), or quenching, has been well established by the RHIC and LHC data, using particle correlation and recently, reconstructed jets. At LHC, the first measurement of the jet quenching employed dijets. However, the advantage of the large yield of dijets is offset by loss of the perturbative final state information, as both jets...

We investigate the correlations of photons produced by Compton back scattering and annihilation of fast quarks in quark gluon plasma with their away-side jets. Compton back scattering and quark annihilation into photons effectively act as jet-photon conversion mechanisms and were originally proposed as novel electromagnetic sources in heavy ion collisions in Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 132301 (2003)....

There has been a lot of interest in testing radiative energy loss
calculations against data from RHIC and the LHC. It is customary, as in the Gyulassy-Levai-Vitev (GLV) approach, to formulate the energy loss of a jet parton as a line integral from the production point along a straight-line trajectory. Calculations then account for variations in pathlength with jet origin and direction, and...

Jet Flavor Tomography is a powerful tool used to probe the properties of Quark Gluon Plasma formed in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC. A new Monte Carlo model of jet quenching developed at Columbia University, CUJET1.0, was applied to predict the jet flavor and centrality dependence of some of the main phenomenological observables, the nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$ and the elliptic...

The reconstruction of jets in heavy-ion collisions provides insight into the dynamics of hard partons in media. Unlike the spectrum of single hadrons, the spectrum of jets
is highly sensitive to $\hat{q}_{\perp}$, as well as being sensitive to partonic energy loss and radiative processes. We use MARTINI, an event generator, to study how finite-temperature processes at leading order affect...
