Abstract
For an energetic jet propagating through a weakly-coupled quark-gluon plasma, we present the physical picture of jet quenching in longitudinal phase-space, as emerging from the interplay between the medium-induced, quasi-democratic, branchings and the elastic collisions responsible for the thermalization of the soft branching products.
