Minijets are ubiquitous in heavy-ion collision experiments. However, they are often excluded from the hydrodynamic simulations of QGP as they do not thermalize at short time scales and are not treated as part of the collective medium. Using…
Mini-jets, created by perturbative hard QCD collisions at moderate energies, can represent a significant portion of the total multiplicity of a heavy-ion collision event. Since their transverse momenta are initially larger than the typical…

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,…
Longitudinal dynamics of particle production and rapidity-dependent jet energy loss are investigated in small and asymmetric colliding systems. We utilize an improved version of \textsc{martini} in which two improvements are implemented to…
We study dynamics of a QGP fluid induced by energetic partons propagating through it. We construct a (3+1)-dimensional QGP-fluid+Jet model. When a jet traverses a uniform fluid, it induces a Mach cone structure of energy density…
The presence of a hot and dense medium, produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, is known to modify the parton shower evolution. Several observations of the resulting intra-jet activity show significant modifications of what can…

High multiplicity final states of small collision systems, such as proton-proton or proton-nucleus, exhibit some signatures which resemble features associated with quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formation in heavy-ion collisions, e.g., collective…
We apply weakly coupled QCD kinetic theory to investigate the thermalization of high-momentum on-shell partons (minijets) in a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Our approach incorporates isotropic hard thermal loop screening to model soft quark and…

In the established paradigm of jet quenching in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, jets from initial hard parton scatterings are suppressed due to their interaction with the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) as they traverse the hot medium, serving…

Jet-energy loss is an important sign of the creation of Quark-Gluon Plasma in heavy-ion collisions. High transverse momentum ($p_T$) partons are produced at the moment of initial hard scattering and are modified as a result of their…
We study the energy deposition and thermalisation of high-momentum on-shell partons (minijets) travelling through a non-equilibrium Quark-Gluon Plasma using QCD kinetic theory. For thermal backgrounds, we show that the parton energy first…
In this brief review of the observable effects of minijets in heavy-ion collisions the main points emphasized are that the quadruple moment $v_2(p_T,b)$ and the hadronic ($\pi$ and $p$) spectra at low $p_T$ can both be reproduced by minijet…
