Hard Probes: After the dust has settled!

Understand

A lot has been learnt in the 15 years since the first data on jet modification at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).

• These proceedings will describe the portion of the theory that is unassailable, and attempt to chart a course for the next period of precision measurements and related calculations.
• In particular, we will focus on the emerging series of higher order calculations, which may reveal the scale, energy and temperature dependence of jet transport coefficients, as well as develop ingredients for a future NLO calculation of jet modification.
• Connections with the underlying degrees of freedom in the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) will be explored.
