In heavy-ion collisions, an abundant production of high-energy QCD jets allows to study how these multiparticle sprays are modified as they pass through the quark-gluon plasma. In order to shed new light on this process, we compute the…
Inclusive electron scattering off few-nucleon systems is investigated at $x>1$ and high momentum transfer, including the contributions from quasi-elastic and deep inelastic scattering processes. It is shown that at $x>1$ the inclusive cross…
We develop the event-by-event picture of the gluon distribution produced via medium-induced gluon branching by an energetic jet which propagates through a dense QCD medium. A typical event is characterized by the production of a large…
