Scientists Report Direct Observation of the Dead-Cone Effect in Quantum Chromodynamics
Novel techniques allow the first direct observation of a predicted effect that results in the suppression of gluon radiation emitted by a heavy quark.

When in a Plasma of Quarks and Gluons, Not All Jets Radiate Equally
Jets of particles in quark-gluon plasma from heavy-ion collisions lose energy via radiation, but how they radiate energy depends on the jet’s structure.
