A roadmap for jet study at LHC Re-constructed jets open up a whole new world for jet quenching study (I always believe what my experimental colleagues tell me) Reconstructed jets: (1)Single inclusive jets (2)Di-jets (3)Gamma-jets
(1) Measurements of jet shape R AA (E T ) for jets: 1 Jet cone size R R AA For single hadrons
(2) Direct measurement of qhat J. Casalderrey-Solana and XNW, arXiv: [hep-ph]. Majumder, Muller and XNW, arXiv:hep-ph/
