Description

I will introduce a simple prescription for computing real-time finite temperature n-point functions in AdS/CFT. When used to compute the stopping distance of a highly energetic jet moving through strongly coupled N=4 superYang-Mills plasma, the typical jet stopping distance scales with energy as (EL)^{1/4}, where L is the size of the region where the jet was created.
