Abstract
Jets produced in hard scattering processes provide an important probe of the thermodynamical and transport properties of the quark gluon plasma (QGP) created in high-energy nuclear (AA) collisions. The products of the hard scattering evolve as parton showers propagating through the medium and experience in-medium energy loss. The information on the initial jet properties can be extracted if an electroweak boson is produced together with parton in the initial hard scattering. Photon and Z boson-tagged measurements of the parton energy loss exploit the fact that the outgoing photon or leptons originating from Z boson are unmodified while traversing the QGP, and thus provide information about the momentum, direction, and flavor of the associated hard-scattered parton before it begins to shower and become quenched. In this proceeding, Z+jet and isolated $\mathrm{\gamma}$+jet measurements by CMS are reported.

Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating
very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and
readers, and in "proceeding" format
which is more detailed and complete.
