"Jets" and their distortion in heavy-ion collisions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-18 v1

Abstract

After a discussion on the meaning of "jets" in the context of nucleus-nucleus collisions, the distortions of the profile of a parton shower induced by the presence of a medium is investigated in a QCD-inspired model that implements the conservation of energy at each step of the shower evolution.
