Relationship Between Jet Quenching and Jet Substructure Observables

Abstract
The phenomenon jet quenching has been one of the central features of heavy ion collisions at both RHIC and the LHC. This observation is a consequence of the developing parton showers, which become the measured jets, resolve the short length scale properties of the quark-gluon plasma. Understanding this process has been identified by the 2015 Long Range Plan for Nuclear Science as one of the two highest priorities for understanding the behavior of the quark-gluon plasma. Therefore, experimentally it is of prime interest to measure how the jet quenching varies with jet structure and substructure. In this talk, we will discuss measurements of jets in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC sensitive to jet structure such as the flavor of the jet, the jet radial size, and the jet sub-structure and as well as what information they provide about the behavior of the quark-gluon plasma. We will also discuss prospects for future measurements at both RHIC and the LHC.
