Abstract

We study the effects of low- $p_T$ collective flow on radiative energy loss from high- $p_T$ partons traversing the QCD medium created in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. We illustrate this idea through three examples. Due to longitudinal flow, jet profiles at the LHC present marked asymmetries in the $\eta\times \phi$ -plane, and widths in $\eta$ and $\phi$ of particle distributions associated with a high- $p_T$ trigger at RHIC become different. Finally, transverse flow implies an increase of high- $p_T$ $v_2$ at RHIC.
