The suppression of the yield of high transverse momentum $p_{T}$ hadrons in heavy-ion collisions, referred to as "jet-quenching", has now developed into a comprehensive science. Jets are now used as probes of a variety of properties of the…

In jet quenching, a hard QCD parton, before fragmenting into a jet of hadrons, deposits a fraction of its energy in the medium, leading to suppressed production of high-$p_T$ hadrons. Assuming that the deposited energy quickly thermalizes,…
