Here we review recent efforts to include in its modeling important qualitative features of QCD, like the correlations in multiple gluon emissions and the color-flow pattern in parton branchings. In particular, the modification of color connections among the partons of a shower developing in the presence of a medium is a generic occurrence accompanying parton energy-loss. We show how this effect can leave its fingerprints at the hadronization stage, leading by itself to a softening of hadron spectra and to an enhanced production of soft particles in jet-fragmentation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-09-29T09:31:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "color coherence", "non-perturbative aspects", "jet quenching", "in-medium breaking", "generic occurrence accompanying parton energy-loss" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2012.12.007" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1122980, "adsabs": "2012arXiv1207.4294B" } } }
