High-p_t in heavy ion collisions: an abridged theoretical overview

Abstract

This overview focusses on recent developments, in the most part triggered by LHC data, aimed at the development of a reliable and complete theoretical description of high-p${}_t$ physics in heavy ion collisions. Particular emphasis is placed on the understanding of the underlying in-medium dynamics as a prior to the use of high-p${}_t$ observables as detailed probes of the QCD matter created in the collisions.
