I there has to be re-scattering in the nal state
I scattering drives a system towards thermal equilibrium
I How and to what extent does the nal state in heavy ion collisions equilibrate?
I proof that there is re-scattering: jet quenching
Deciphering jet quenching with JEWEL K. Zapp Introduction JEWEL Role of uctuations Medium's response to jets Outlook Jets in heavy ion collisions
I proton-proton collisions: 2 jets with balancing transverse momentum
I in heavy ion collisions: signicant softening of jets thermalisation of a far-from-equilibrium system → jet quenching informs us about equilibration in QCD → Deciphering jet quenching with JEWEL K.
