## TL;DR

This paper presents a comprehensive and successful test of the CUJET3 framework, a jet energy loss model that incorporates nonperturbative effects like monopoles and confinement, to describe diverse experimental data from heavy ion collisions.

## Contribution

It introduces a unified description of jet quenching observables using CUJET3, integrating nonperturbative physics of the hot medium for the first time.

## Key findings

- CUJET3 accurately describes a wide range of jet quenching data.
- The model incorporates monopoles and confinement effects.
- Results support the semi-quark-gluon-monopole plasma as the medium's nature.

## Abstract

Jet energy loss in heavy ion collisions, as quantified by the traditional observable of high $p_T$ hadron's nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$, provides highly informative "imaging" of the hot medium created in heavy ion collisions. There are now comprehensive sets of available data, from average suppression to azimuthal anisotropy, from light to heavy flavors, from RHIC 200GeV to LHC 2.76TeV as well as 5.02TeV collisions. A unified description of such comprehensive data presents a stringent vetting of any viable model for jet quenching phenomenology. In this contribution we report such a systematic and successful test of CUJET3, a jet energy loss simulation framework built upon a nonperturbative microscopic model for the hot medium as a semi-quark-gluon-monopole plasma (sQGMP) which integrates two essential elements of confinement, i.e. the Polyakov-loop suppression of quarks/gluons and emergent magnetic monopoles.
