An equation for parton multiplicity in cascade with the recombination 1 → 2 ⊕ 2 → 1 is derived from a Kolmogorov-Chapman equation and solved. An evolution parameter τ of the cascade depends on the c.m. energy [Formula: see text]; an explicit form of the dependence is obtained from the condition that the mean multiplicity of charged particles in pp, [Formula: see text] collisions be reproduced. A considerable decrease in the mean multiplicity in heavy-ion collisions per pair of the colliding nucleons at high energies is predicted and compared to the parton cascade with no recombination.

We review recent theoretical developments in the study of the structure of jets that are produced in ultra relativistic heavy ion collisions. The core of the review focusses on the dynamics of the parton cascade that is induced by the interactions of a fast parton crossing a quark–gluon plasma. We recall the basic mechanisms responsible for medium induced radiation, underline the rapid disappearance of coherence effects, and the ensuing probabilistic nature of the medium induced cascade. We discuss how large radiative corrections modify the classical picture of the gluon cascade, and how these can be absorbed in a renormalization of the jet quenching parameter [Formula: see text]. Then, we analyze the (wave)-turbulent transport of energy along the medium induced cascade, and point out the main characteristics of the angular structure of such a cascade. Finally, color decoherence of the in-cone jet structure is discussed. Modest contact with phenomenology is presented towards the end of the review.
