Jets in QCD media: from color coherence to decoherence
read the original abstract
We investigate soft gluon radiation off a quark-antiquark antenna in both color singlet and octet configurations traversing a dense medium. We demonstrate that, in both cases, multiple scatterings lead to a gradual decoherence of the antenna radiation as a function of the medium density. In particular, in the limit of an completely opaque medium, total decoherence is obtained, i.e., the quark and the antiquark radiate as independent emitters in vacuum, thus losing memory of their origin. We comment on possible implications on intrajet observables in heavy-ion collisions.

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

Quantum simulating multi-particle processes in high energy nuclear physics: dijet production and color (de)coherence
A framework is developed that encodes leading-order QCD antenna and dipole processes as quantum circuits, with benchmarks against analytic limits in simplified media.

A dynamical implementation of colour coherence for quenched jets in JEWEL
A per-interaction resolution check in JEWEL dynamically breaks colour coherence, suppressing hard radiation and reducing scattering rates in quenched jets.
