A complete set of in-medium splitting functions to any order in opacity

In this Letter we report the first calculation of all O(αs) medium-induced branching processes to any order in opacity. Our splitting functions results are presented as iterative solutions to matrix equations with initial conditions set by the leading order branchings in the vacuum. The flavor and q...
