The study of the structure of strongly interacting dense matter via hard jets is reviewed. High
momentum partons produced in hard collisions produce a shower of gluons prior to …

Direct real photons are arguably the most versatile tools to study relativistic heavy ion
collisions. They are produced, by various mechanisms, during the entire space-time history …

We report a new determination of q ̂, the jet transport coefficient of the quark-gluon plasma.
We use the JETSCAPE framework, which incorporates a novel multistage theoretical …

We compute the electromagnetic fields generated in heavy-ion collisions by using the
HIJING model. Although after averaging over many events only the magnetic field …

In this work it is shown that the use of a hydrodynamical model of heavy-ion collisions which
incorporates recent developments, together with updated photon emission rates, greatly …

ALICE is a general-purpose heavy-ion experiment designed to study the physics of strongly
interacting matter and the quark–gluon plasma in nucleus–nucleus collisions at the LHC. It …

Jets are expected to play a prominent role in the ongoing efforts to characterize the hot and
dense QCD medium created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The success of this …

We introduce the modular algorithm for relativistic treatment of heavy ion interactions
(martini), a comprehensive event generator for the hard and penetrating probes in high …

The research programme of high-energy nucleus-nucleus physics is focused on the study of
the fundamental theory of the strong interaction–Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD)–in …

Photons are a penetrating probe of the hot medium formed in heavy-ion collisions, but they
are emitted from all collision stages. At photon energies below 2–3 GeV, the measured …
