Description
High energy partons lose energy when traversing the hot and dense medium produced in heavy-ion collisions. This results in a modification of the transverse momentum distribution of jets manifesting a phenomenon known as jet quenching. Early measurements have established in heavy ion collisions that jet quenching results in significant modifications to the transverse momentum balance of dijet pairs. Further differential measurements probe the nature of the asymmetric jet quenching observed and explore the role of path-length dependent energy loss. This talk will discuss insights gained from recent dijet measurements from both RHIC and the LHC.
