A bstract We calculate the jet shape and the jet cross section in heavy ion collisions using soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) and its extension with Glauber gluon interactions in the medium (SCET G ). We use the previously developed framework to systematically resum the jet shape at next-to-le...
