A hot, dense medium called a Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) is created in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. Hard parton scatterings generate high momentum partons that traverse the medium, which then fragment into sprays of particle called…

Hard probes in the context of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions represent a key class of observables studied to gain informations about the QCD medium created in such collisions. However, in practice the so-called jet tomography has…
