The abstract, sentence by sentence

Jet physics in relativistic heavy ion collisions, which combines perturbative QCD jet production with quark and gluon energy loss and in-medium parton shower modification, has emerged as a powerful tool to probe the properties of strongly-interacting matter formed in high-energy nuclear reactions. We present selected results for the modification of jet cross sections and related observables in the ambiance of hot and/or dense nuclear medium. We focus on the inclusive jet spectrum and dijets [${\cal O}(\alpha_s^3) $], and $Z^0/\gamma^*$ tagged jets [${\cal O}(G_F\alpha_s^2) $] in the framework of perturbative QCD.

In our theoretical simulations of jet production in the nuclear environment we utilize the formalism of in-medium parton splitting [ref] , which in the soft gluon approximation naturally gives the fully differential distribution of the medium-induced energy loss of fast partons in the QCD medium [ref] .

Fig. [ref] illustrates the dependence of the nuclear modification factor for single jet production $R_AA^1-jet$ in central Pb+Pb collisions on the jet size $R$ with an acceptance cut without ($p_T^min=0$ GeV) and with ($p_T^min>0$ GeV) collisional energy loss [ref] .
