We perform a global analysis of experimental data on jet quenching for heavy flavors for scenarios with and without quark-gluon plasma formation in $pp$ collisions. We find that the theoretical predictions for the nuclear modification…

Jets produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC are expected to be strongly modified due to the interaction of the parton shower with the dense QCD matter. Here, we point out that jet quenching can leave signatures not only in the…

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,…

The first evidence of jet quenching was observed at RHIC via suppression of single high $p_T$ hadron $R_{AA}$ and the disappearance of the away-side jet peak in two-particle correlations. Since then, hadron $R_{AA}$ and two-particle…
