We study the tomographic applications of a new phenomenon we dub "jet drift" -- the deflection of high-energy particles and jets toward the direction of a flowing medium -- to the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions. While…
We discuss the theory of jet events in high-energy photon-proton interactions using a model which gives a good description of the data available on total inelastic $\gamma p$ cross sections up to $\sqrt{s}$=210 GeV. We show how to calculate…

Perturbative analysis of parton kinetics for high energy nuclear collisions shows, that thermal equilibration of gluons happens very fast, while quark production is much slower. A simple 'minimal model' is proposed which includes only…

Central lead-lead collisions at the LHC energies may pose a particular challenge for jet identification as multiple jets are produced per each collision event. We simulate the jet evolution in central Pb-Pb events at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} =…
