Description

Transverse momentum broadening and parton energy loss for a jet propagating inside a medium can be characterized by the jet transport parameter q which is essentially the local gluon density as probed by an energetic jet. This is the underlying principle of jet tomography of dense matter in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. In this talk, I will discuss recent progress in the study of jet tomography in both semi-inclusive deeply inelastic scattering off large nuclei and high-energy heavy-ion collisions. (author)
