Jet structure modifications in heavy-ion collisions with JEWEL

Abstract

Key features of jet-medium interactions in heavy-ion collisions are modifications to the jet structure. Recent results from experiments at the LHC and RHIC have motivated several theoretical calculations and monte carlo models towards predicting these observables simultaneously. In this report, the recoil picture in \textsc{Jewel} is summarized and two independent procedures through which background subtraction can be performed in \textsc{Jewel} are introduced. Information of the medium recoil in \textsc{Jewel} significantly improves its description of several jet shape measurements.
