Summary of Results on Hard Probes

Abstract

Results on observables related to hard scattering processes as presented at this conference are reviewed. This includes in particular measurements related to jet quenching, a phenomenon which has been predicted as a signature for the hot and dense early phase of strongly interacting matter.
