Abstract

When an energetic parton traversing the QCD medium, it may suffer multiple scatterings and lose energy. This jet quenching phenomenon may lead to the suppression of leading hadron productions as well as medium modifications of full jet observables in heavy-ion collisions. In this talk we discuss the nuclear modification factors and yield ratios of identified meson such as η\eta, ρ0\rho^0, ϕ\phi, ω\omega, and KS0K^0_{\rm S} as well as π\pi meson at large pTp_T in A+A collisions at the next-to-leading order (NLO) with high-twist approach of parton energy loss. Then we discuss a newly developed formalism of combing NLO matrix elements and parton shower (PS) for initial hard production with parton energy loss in the QGP, and its application in investigating massive gauge boson (Z0Z^0/W±W^{\pm}) tagged jet productions and bbˉb\bar{b} dijet correlations in Pb+Pb at the LHC.
