Abstract

We calculate the evolution of a jet shower due to medium induced splittings in the deep LPM regime. Due to the characteristic energy dependence of the formation time tform(ω)=ω/qˉ^t_{\rm form}(\omega)= \sqrt{\omega /\hat{\bar{q}}}, the radiative break-up process exhibits turbulent characteristics, allowing for analytic predictions of various inclusive properties of the medium induced cascade in an inertial range of energies TωET \ll \omega \ll E, where EE is the energy of the jet and TT is the temperature of the medium.
