Description
High energy heavy ion collisions enable the production of a state of strongly interacting deconfined nuclear matter called the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). Jets are a powerful probe of this nuclear medium as the partons inside the jet are expected to lose energy as they interact with the medium causing the phenomenon known as jet quenching. Through studying a variety of jet properties at both the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) insight can be gained on the mechanisms of jet energy loss. This talk will discuss recent jet measurements of jet production and correlations in heavy ion collisions from both RHIC and the LHC.
