Final state medium-induced gluon radiation in ultradense nuclear matter is shown to favor large angle emission when compared to vacuum bremsstrahlung due to the suppression of collinear gluons. In a simple model of momentum transfers from…

Hard-scattered partons provide an ideal probe for the study of the Quark-Gluon Plasma because they are produced prior to the formation of the QCD medium in heavy-ion collisions. Jet production is therefore susceptible to modifications…
