How are high-momentum transfer processes modified when embedded in the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) instead of the vacuum? How can fundamental properties of the QGP be inferred from their medium-modifications? And what can be learnt about QCD? These questions have motivated theoretical and experimental studies for more than four decades almost since the beginning of QGP research. Here we review with a historical perspective the main theoretical developments and the resulting interplay of theory and experiment at RHIC and at the LHC.

    hep-lat 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0

    The spin-dependent heavy-quark potential in the quark-gluon plasma is complex, with a channel-dependent imaginary part first extracted from lattice QCD.

  2. Factorization of the triple-collinear $q \to qc\bar{c}$ splitting function at first order in opacity

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    At first order in opacity, the medium-modified q->q c cbar splitting function factorizes into products of q->q g and g->c cbar splitting functions in three strongly ordered collinear limits.

  3. In-medium QCD splittings beyond the soft, large-$N_c$ and harmonic-oscillator approximations all at once

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    First complete numerical solution of BDMPS-Z equations for in-medium QCD splittings, going beyond soft, large-Nc and harmonic-oscillator approximations.

  4. Evidence for parton energy loss in oxygen$-$oxygen collisions at $\mathbf{\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.36}$ TeV

    nucl-ex 2026-06 conditional novelty 7.0

    Neutral-pion nuclear modification factors in OO collisions exhibit suppression at 4.9 sigma after subtracting cold-nuclear-matter effects via pO data, consistent with parton energy loss models.

  5. Full energy fraction and angular dependence of medium-induced splittings in the large-$N_c$ limit

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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.

  6. Gluon radiation from a QCD antenna with realistic parton-medium interactions

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    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.

  7. Gluon radiation from a QCD antenna with realistic parton-medium interactions

    hep-ph 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Numerical solution of differential equations for the full in-medium gluon emission spectrum from a QCD antenna with realistic scattering models.

    hep-ph 2026-05 conditional novelty 6.0

    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.

  11. Measurement of jet quenching in O+O collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}=200$ GeV by the STAR experiment at RHIC

    nucl-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    STAR reports 20% suppression of recoiling hadrons and jets in high-event-activity O+O collisions at 200 GeV, with a measured 0.7 GeV/c pT shift for large-radius jets, providing evidence for jet quenching in small systems.

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    Combined short-path-length (APL) and sub-eikonal corrections to GLV momentum broadening nearly cancel, restoring the standard GLV result; the paper argues this may resolve the earlier large negative APL energy-loss co...

    nucl-th 2026-04 conditional novelty 5.0

    Suppression of high-pT hadrons in peripheral Pb+Pb collisions is predominantly driven by initial-state geometric bias rather than final-state jet quenching.

    nucl-th 2026-04 conditional novelty 5.0

    Keeping the gauge-invariant Wilson line in the glasma q̂ computation shifts the result by ~9% (5.28 vs 5.79 GeV²/fm), validating the earlier simplified calculation.
