abstract
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 undergoing the non-perturbative process of hadronization. In the presence of a dense medium this shower is modified due to scattering of the various partons off the constituents in the medium. The modified pattern of the final detected hadrons is then a probe of the structure of the medium as perceived by the jet. Starting from the factorization paradigm developed for the case of particle collisions, we review the basic underlying theory of medium induced gluon radiation based on perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (pQCD) and current experimental results from Deep Inelastic Scattering on large nuclei and high energy heavy-ion collisions, emphasizing how these results constrain our understanding of energy loss. This review contains introductions to the theory of radiative energy loss, elastic energy loss, and the corresponding experimental observables and issues. We close with a discussion of important calculations and measurements that need to be carried out to complete the description of jet modification at high energies at future high energy colliders.

A light-front Hamiltonian method evolves a quark through Glasma fields to obtain transverse momentum broadening and jet quenching consistent with classical scaling in saturation momentum.
The probability distribution for collisional energy loss of a fast parton in hot QCD matter is derived from a resummed kinetic equation using hard-thermal-loop scatterings.
A multi-stage CoLBT-hydro simulation with a 2 GeV medium scale reproduces the CMS in-jet EEC and predicts rank- and rapidity-gap-dependent modifications that encode path length and the diffusion wake.
A conditional flow-matching model trained on CoLBT-hydro reproduces marginal γ-jet medium-response hadron spectra in 0–10% Pb+Pb at 5.02 TeV with ~10⁶× speedup while preserving front and diffusion-wake statistics.
fRG calculations show the jet quenching parameter hat q is enhanced above the chiral boundary and peaks near the QCD critical end point due to critical sigma fluctuations.
Suppression of high-pT hadrons in peripheral Pb+Pb collisions is predominantly driven by initial-state geometric bias rather than final-state jet quenching.
Bayesian posteriors from JETSCAPE jet-quenching model are largely compatible across centrality but exhibit shifts across beam energy and observable class, with varying ability to predict complementary datasets.
Holographic calculation in a spinning Myers-Perry black brane shows that higher temperature or rotation parameter a shortens light-quark stopping distance and increases instantaneous energy loss, with stronger anisotropy for transverse motion.
