Description
The energy loss of fast partons (quarks or gluons) in relativistic heavy-ion collisions can provide information on parton energy-loss mechanisms in a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and serve to probe its microscopic structure. Understanding the parton energy-loss processes as partons propagate through a QGP requires measurement of large transverse momentum (high-pT) hadrons and jets. Suppression of the yield of high-pT hadrons at RHIC was the first indication of parton energy loss. More recently with the advent of higher collision energies at the LHC, the quenching of jets has been studied extensively in heavy-ion collisions. In this presentation I will provide an overview of high-pT hadron suppression, jet quenching and jet substructure measurements in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC. * but were afraid to ask!
