Monte Carlo for Jet Showers in the Medium

Understand

The most commonly employed formalisms of radiative energy loss have been derived in the high- energy approximation.

• In its present form, it is reliable only for the medium modifications of inclusive particle spectra.
• Modifications to this formalism are expected to be important for less inclusive measurements.
• This is especially relevant for reconstructed jets in heavy-ion collisions, which are becoming available only recently.
