Abstract

We calculate the evolution of a jet shower due to medium induced splittings in the deep LPM regime. Due to the characteristic energy dependence of the formation time t\rm form(ω)= √ω/q, the radiative break-up process exhibits turbulent characteristics, allowing for analytic predictions of various inclusive properties of the medium induced cascade in an inertial range of energies T ≪ ω≪ E, where E is the energy of the jet and T is the temperature of the medium.
