We calculate the leading corrections to jet momentum broadening and medium-induced branching that arise from the velocity of the moving medium at first order in opacity. These results advance our knowledge of jet quenching and demonstrate how it couples to collective flow of the quark-gluon plasma in heavy-ion collisions and to the orbital motion of partons in cold nuclear matter in deep inelastic scattering at the electron-ion collider. We also compute the leading corrections to jet momentum broadening due to transverse gradients of temperature and density. We find that these effects lead to both anisotropic transverse momentum diffusion proportional to the medium velocity and anisotropic medium-induced radiation emitted preferentially in the direction of the flow. We isolate the relevant sub-eikonal corrections by working with jets composed of scalar particles with arbitrary color factors interacting with the medium by scalar QCD. Appropriate substitution of the color factors and light-front wave functions allow us to immediately apply the results to a range of processes including $q rightarrow q g$ branching in real QCD. The resulting general expressions can be directly coupled to hydrodynamic simulations on an event-by-event basis to study the correlations between jet quenching and the dynamics of various forms of nuclear matter.

The transverse momentum anisotropy of the particles produced in heavy ion collisions is one of the most important experimental observable to investigate the collective behavior of the systems created in such collisions. Recent studies show that the c
omplex nature of the system evolution, such as initial condition fluctuations and jets, may lead to important effects in the flow coefficients and, therefore, to misinterpretation of the results obtained. In this study, we used simulated events produced with a hydrodynamic model which allows inhomogeneous initial condition combined with proton-proton collisions produced with the Pythia event generator to create a final set of particles to be analyzed with the usual experimental flow calculation techniques. Although this simplified approach is somehow unrealistic, since it does not include the interaction of the jet with the medium, our results have shown a good agreement of the behavior of the elliptic flow coefficient as a function of the transverse momentum up to 6 GeV/c for Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV. Although each model alone is not able to describe the full range, the combination of both sets of particles as seen by the flow calculation techniques may be the key to explain the behavior observed in experimental data.
We present a new expansion scheme to compute the rate for parton splittings in dense and finite QCD media. In contrast to the standard opacity expansion, our expansion is performed around the harmonic oscillator whose characteristic frequency depends
on the typical transverse momentum scale generated in the splitting. The first two orders account for the high frequency regime that is dominated by single hard scatterings together with the regime of multiple soft scatterings at low frequency. This work generalizes the findings of Ref. cite{Mehtar-Tani:2019tvy} beyond the leading logarithmic approximation allowing to account also for the Bethe-Heitler regime and compare to the full numerical results from Ref. cite{CaronHuot:2010bp}. We investigate the sensitivity of our results to varying the separation scale that defines the leading order. Finally, the application to Monte Carlo event generators is discussed.
We revisit the calculation of the medium-induced gluon radiative spectrum and propose a novel expansion scheme that encompasses the two known analytic limits: i) the high frequency regime dominated by a single hard scattering that corresponds to the
leading order in the standard opacity expansion, ii) the low frequency regime that is dominated by multiple soft scatterings. Our approach is based on expanding around the harmonic oscillator instead of vacuum in the leading logarithmic approximation. We compute the first two orders in this improved opacity expansion and show that they account for the aforementioned limits.
The free-free opacity in dense systems is a property that both tests our fundamental understanding of correlated many-body systems, and is needed to understand the radiative properties of high energy-density plasmas. Despite its importance, predictiv
e calculations of the free-free opacity remain challenging even in the condensed matter phase for simple metals. Here we show how the free-free opacity can be modelled at finite-temperatures via time-dependent density functional theory, and illustrate the importance of including local field corrections, core polarization and self-energy corrections. Our calculations for ground-state Al are shown to agree well with experimental opacity measurements performed on the Artemis laser facility across a wide range of x-ray to ultraviolet wavelengths. We extend our calculations across the melt to the warm-dense matter regime, and find good agreement with advanced plasma models based on inverse bremsstrahlung at temperatures above 10 eV.
Motivated by recent interest in collectivity in small systems, we calculate the harmonic flow response to initial geometry deformations within weakly coupled QCD kinetic theory using the first correction to the free-streaming background. We derive a
parametric scaling formula that relates harmonic flow in systems of different sizes and different generic initial gluon distributions. We comment on similarities and differences between the full QCD effective kinetic theory and the toy models used previously. Finally we calculate the centrality dependence of the integrated elliptic flow $v_2$ in oxygen-oxygen, proton-lead and proton-proton collision systems.
