We study high mass dilepton production from gluon-induced processes, $g q \to q \gamma^*$, $g \bar q \to \bar q \gamma^*$, and $g g \to q \bar q \gamma^*$, in a thermally equilibrated but chemically under-saturated partonic matter that is…
The quenching of jets (and high-pT particle spectra) observed in heavy-ion collisions is interpreted as due to the energy lost by hard partons crossing the Quark Gluon Plasma. Here we review recent efforts to include in its modeling…

Radiative interferences in the multi-parton shower is the building block of QCD jet physics in vacuum. The presence of a hot medium made of quarks and gluons is expected to alter this interference pattern. To study these effects, we derive…
