abstract

We study the radiative processes that affect the propagation of a high energy gluon in a dense medium, such as a quark-gluon plasma. In particular, we investigate the role of the large double logarithms corrections, $\sim\alpha_s \ln^2 L/\tau_0$, that were recently identified in the study of $p_\perp$-broadening by Liou, Mueller and Wu. We show that these large corrections can be reabsorbed in a renormalization of the jet quenching parameter controlling both momentum broadening and energy loss. We argue that the probabilistic description of these phenomena remains valid, in spite of the large non-locality in time of the radiative corrections. The renormalized jet-quenching parameter is enhanced compared to its standard perturbative estimate. As a particular consequence, the radiative energy loss scales with medium size $L$ as $L^{2+\gamma}$, with $\gamma=2\sqrt{\alpha_s N_c /\pi}$, as compared to the standard scaling in $L^2$.

  1. 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 of 10

    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.

  2. Revisiting extremely high energy QED bremsstrahlung in matter: large modifications to the LPM effect

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Pair production overlapping soft bremsstrahlung enhances the in-medium radiation rate above the standard LPM value, opposite to the 1964 prediction of Galitsky and Gurevich.

  3. Energy loss and theoretical uncertainties in small quark-gluon plasmas

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A pQCD energy loss model with short-pathlength corrections shows the large formation time approximation fails self-consistently and, after a one-parameter fit, describes RHIC small systems while failing LHC small systems.

  4. Are Parton Showers in a Quark-Gluon Plasma Strongly Coupled? A Theorist's Test

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Overlap corrections to in-medium QCD parton showers are about 0.005 in the large-Nf limit, confirming that showers can be treated as independent splittings.

  5. Minijet thermalization and jet transport coefficients in QCD kinetic theory

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

  6. Non-linear dynamics of jet quenching

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Jet energy loss out of the cone is governed by a non-linear rate equation whose solution feeds a non-linear DGLAP evolution, enabling resummation of alpha_s ln(1/R), alpha_s ln(R/theta_c), and powers of alpha_s L.

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    A historical and technical review of jet quenching in heavy-ion collisions, covering four decades of theory, the RHIC discovery, and modern Bayesian extractions of the jet transport parameter qhat.

  8. Jets: Hard-soft correlation -- Theory overview

    hep-ph 2025-04 unverdicted

    A review of recent theoretical progress on hard-soft correlations in jets, covering kinetic theory, x-scape-gim, TMD-based anisotropies, and color fluctuations.
