Jet Quenching, the suppression of high energy jets in Heavy Ion Collisions, is one of the most basic observables that gives us access to the microscopic physics of the Quark Gluon Plasma(QGP). A complete calculation of this and related jet substructure observables in a strongly coupled medium is a challenging problem particularly due to the multitude of both perturbative and non-perturbative scales involved. In ep and pp collisions, this problem is solved by deriving powerful factorization formulas that isolate the physics at well separated scales and which has led to unprecedented precision in theoretical calculations. Therefore, to emulate this level of precision for jet physics in Heavy Ion Collisions requires us address some key questions
I ll apply the technique of Effective Field Theory to this problem and show how it can be a powerful tool that can answer these questions in a systematically improvable manner.
