Jet quenching
arXiv:0902.2011 · doi:10.1007/978-3-642-01539-7_16
Abstract
We present a comprehensive review of the physics of hadron and jet production at large transverse momentum in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. Emphasis is put on experimental and theoretical "jet quenching" observables that provide direct information on the (thermo)dynamical properties of hot and dense QCD matter.
