Jets in strongly coupled N=4 super Yang-Mills theory

We study jets of massless particles in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory using the AdS/conformal field theory correspondence both at zero and finite temperature. We set up an initial state corresponding to a highly energetic quark/antiquark pair and follow its time evolution into two jets. At finite temperature the jets stop after traveling a finite distance, whereas at zero temperature they travel and spread forever. We map out the corresponding baryon number charge density and identify the generic late-time behavior of the jets as well as features that depend crucially on the initial conditions.
