Jet multiplicities as the QGP thermometer

Abstract

It is proposed to use the energy behavior of mean multiplicities of jets propagating in a nuclear medium as the thermometer of this medium during the collision phases. The qualitative effects are demonstrated in the framework of the fixed coupling QCD with account of jet quenching.
