Overview of jet quenching and energy loss in heavy-ion collisions

Abstract

This talk covers the latest theory developments related to the jet-quenching phenomenon and energy loss in nucleus-nucleus collisions with a focus on the lead-lead system. In particular, an attempt is made to interpret the latest heavy-ion results in the jet physics sector using a broad range of observables e.g. inclusive $R_{AA}$, dijet asymmetry, jet fragmentation functions and sensitivity of jet substructure to jet-induced medium response.
