Abstract

The reconstruction of jets in heavy-ion collisions provides insight into the dynamics of hard partons in media. Unlike the spectrum of single hadrons, the spectrum of jets is highly sensitive to $\hat{q}_{\perp}$, as well as being sensitive to partonic energy loss and radiative processes. We use MARTINI, an event generator, to study how finite-temperature processes at leading order affect dijets.
