Jet tomography in heavy-ion collisions -- Challenges, Results, and Open Problems

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

Over the past 30 years, jet observables have proven to provide important information about the quark-gluon plasma created in heavy-ion collisions. I review the challenges, results, and open problems of jet physics in heavy-ion collisions, discussing the main ideas as well as some most recent results focussing on two major jet observables, the nuclear modification factor and the high-pT elliptic flow.
