Abstract
Hard probes created through large momentum transfers are used to study the properties of QCD matter created in heavy-ion collisions, by comparing the measurements to those in p+p collisions. Jets, and the "quenching" or suppression of jets in the medium created in heavy-ion collisions, are studied through various different observables. We present the most recent measurements from = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions, with p+p collisions as the reference, by the STAR Collaboration. The observables are semi-inclusive charged jets and di-jet transverse momentum imbalance. Additionally, correlation measurements of direct photon-hadron and neutral pion-hadron are presented and discussed.
