New Angles on Jet Scattering in the Quark-Gluon Plasma at RHIC and the LHC

Artist’s rendering of QGP formation in a nuclear collision at RHIC, in which a high-energy photon (purple line) and jet of correlated particles (cone) propagate back-to-back in the QGP. Jet scattering in the QGP broadens the distribution of their azimuthal opening angle.
