abstract
A hot, dense medium called a Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) is created in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. Hard parton scatterings generate high momentum partons that traverse the medium, which then fragment into sprays of particle called jets. Experimental measurements from high momentum hadrons, two particle correlations, and full jet reconstruction at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) continue to improve our understanding of energy loss in the QGP. Run 2 at the LHC recently began and there is a jet detector at RHIC under development. Now is the perfect time to reflect on what the experimental measurements have taught us so far, the limitations of the techniques used for studying jets, how the techniques can be improved, and how to move forward with the wealth of experimental data such that a complete description of energy loss in the QGP can be achieved. Measurements of jets to date clearly indicate that hard partons lose energy. Detailed comparisons of the nuclear modification factor between data and model calculations led to quantitative constraints on the opacity of the medium to hard probes. While there is substantial evidence for softening and broadening jets through medium interactions, the difficulties comparing measurements to theoretical calculations limit further quantitative constraints on energy loss mechanisms. We call for an agreement between theorists and experimentalists on the appropriate treatment of the background, Monte Carlo generators that enable experimental algorithms to be applied to theoretical calculations, and a clear understanding of which observables are most sensitive to the properties of the medium, even in the presence of background. This will enable us to determine the best strategy for the field to improve quantitative constraints on properties of the medium in the face of these challenges.

First measurement of two-point EEC in 20-80 GeV/c charged jets in p-Pb collisions shows modification relative to pp at the same energy, with enhancement at large angles and suppression at small angles in the 20-40 GeV/c range.
In large-Nc and harmonic oscillator limits, medium-induced splittings are computed analytically double-differential in z and θ, with an improved semi-hard approximation validated for high-energy partons.
A factorization theorem is derived for the joint measurement of 1-jettiness and jet charge in DIS, introducing a new universal charged jet function that enhances quark flavor separation in initial-state PDFs and probes final-state hadronization.
First measurement of the nuclear modification factor R_AA in OO collisions at 5.36 TeV shows suppression with a minimum of 0.69 at p_T around 6 GeV, favoring models with parton energy loss.
Bayesian constraints on early-time jet quenching from large collision systems yield predictions of measurable energy loss in oxygen-oxygen collisions.
The in-medium antenna gluon spectrum is obtained by numerical solution of Dyson-type equations that fully resum multiple scatterings for Yukawa and HTL rates, without harmonic-oscillator or opacity truncations.
Derives Lindblad evolution for color dipole in QCD plasma and demonstrates quasi-factorization of Wigner distribution violated by color decoherence factor controlled by theta_qqbar/theta_c ratio.
The jet broadening tensor qhat^ij in near-equilibrium QCD is controlled by the medium shear-stress tensor within the 14-moment approximation.
Mixed harmonic cumulants of elliptic and triangular flow obey simple ratios set by reaction-plane elliptic flow, yielding new predictions for 10-particle cumulants.
New measurements of isolated, non-isolated, and inclusive J/ψ yields, nuclear modification factors, and fractions up to 60 GeV in pp and Pb+Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV.
The work presents a dispersive fit for the refractive index of liquid argon incorporating anomalous dispersion and proposes jet drift in simulations of heavy-ion collisions as a way to disentangle medium properties from energy loss.
An LSTM model trained on simulated jet substructure learns to predict true jet energy loss and distinguishes quenching signatures even after realistic detector effects are applied.
Minijet thermalization time in a thermal gluon plasma scales with the jet quenching parameter q-hat once recoiling medium contributions are added to standard transport coefficient definitions.
Comparative analysis of published jet quenching data shows radius dependence differs between single-jet and dijet selections and between experiments, but fractional energy loss S_loss reduces sensitivity to the pp spectral shape for cross-experiment comparisons.
