Transverse momentum broadening of a jet in quark-gluon plasma: an open quantum system EFT

Abstract We utilize the technology of open quantum systems in conjunction with the recently developed effective field theory for forward scattering to address the question of massless jet propagation through a weakly-coupled quark-gluon plasma in thermal equilibrium. We discuss various possible h...
