چکیده
We discuss the modification of a jet fragmentation function due to medium-induced partonic energy loss in context of leading particle observables in ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus interactions. We also analyze the relation between in-medium softening jet fragmentation function and suppression of the jet rates due to energy loss outside the jet cone. The predicted anti-correlation between two effects allows to probe a fraction of partonic energy loss carried out of the jet cone and truly lost to the jet.

I summarize the recent advances in jet tomographic studies of cold and hot nuclear matter based on perturbative QCD calculations of mediuminduced gluon bremsstrahlung. Quantitative applications to ultrarelativistic heavy ion reactions at RHIC indicate the creation of a deconfined state of QCD with initial energy density on the order of 100 times cold nuclear matter density. Submitted to: J. Phy...

Jet quenching studies play a prominent role in our current understanding of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. In this review I first present the available formalism to compute medium-induced gluon radiation. Then I discuss its effect on single particle spectra, with dedicated attention to the case of the radiating parton being a massive quark. Next I examine more differential observables ...
