To date, most jet modification studies have been based on comparing the jet properties measured in heavy-ion collisions to a proton-proton baseline at the same reconstructed jet transverse momentum $p_T$. It is well known, however, that the quenching of jets from their interaction with the medium leads to a migration of jets from higher to lower $p_T$, making it challenging to directly infer the degree and mechanism of jet energy loss. Our proposed quantile matching procedure is inspired by (but not reliant on) the approximate monotonicity of energy loss in the jet $p_T$. In this strategy, jets in heavy-ion collisions ordered by $p_T$ are viewed as modified versions of the same number of highest-energy jets in proton-proton collisions. Despite non-monotonic fluctuations in the energy loss, we use an event generator to validate the strong correlation between the $p_T$ of the parton that initiates a heavy-ion jet and the $p_T$ of the vacuum jet which corresponds to it via the quantile procedure. We demonstrate that this strategy both provides a complementary way to study jet modification and mitigates the effect of $p_T$ migration in heavy-ion collisions.</span></div></pre></div></div></pre></div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thank you.</div><div class="">-Carlota, Vincent and Raza</div></body></html>
