RHIC STAR detector jet topology results

Caption

In both wide (red) and narrow (blue) jets tracked by the STAR detector, the energy of high- and low-momentum particles within the jet cone (θSJ) accounts for all the energy "lost" to quenching. This means quenching happens before the quark fragments to form the jet substructure.
