On the evolution of jet energy and opening angle in strongly coupled plasma

We calculate how the energy and the opening angle of jets in N = 4 SYM theory evolve as they propagate through the strongly coupled plasma of that theory. We define the rate of energy loss dE[subscript jet]/dx and the jet opening angle in a straightforward fashion directly in the gauge theory befor...
