Description
Understanding how quarks and gluons evolve and lose energy as they traverse a colored medium is central to interpreting jet observables in high-energy nuclear collisions. We investigate this using a non-perturbative light-front Hamiltonian approach, where the physical quark — dressed by its gluon cloud — is treated as the eigenstate of the vacuum QCD Hamiltonian, and its real-time quantum evolution through a SU(3) colored medium is simulated directly. This framework yields a rich set of jet observables including momentum broadening, gluon emission rates, and energy loss. We further apply it to compute jet energy correlators in pp and pA collisions, demonstrating their sensitivity to the medium saturation scale as a probe of nuclear matter.
