Hard-scattered partons provide an ideal probe for the study of the Quark-Gluon Plasma because they are produced prior to the formation of the QCD medium in heavy-ion collisions. Jet production is therefore susceptible to modifications…

Jet quenching provides a valuable measure of the opacity of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. However, substantial suppression of charged hadron spectra is observed in highly peripheral collisions,…
