Probing nuclear matter with jets    [PDF]

Ben-Wei Zhang, Yuncun He, R. B. Neufeld, Ivan Vitev, Enke Wang
Jet physics in relativistic heavy ion collisions, which combines perturbative QCD jet production with quark and gluon energy loss and in-medium parton shower modification, has emerged as a powerful tool to probe the properties of strongly-interacting matter formed in high-energy nuclear reactions. We present selected results for the modification of jet cross sections and related observables in the ambiance of hot and/or dense nuclear medium. We focus on the inclusive jet spectrum and dijets [${\cal O}(\alpha_s^3) $], and $Z^0/\gamma^*$ tagged jets [${\cal O}(G_F\alpha_s^2) $] in the framework of perturbative QCD.
