Abstract: We present the medium-modified energy collimation in the leading-logarithmic approximation (LLA)
and next-to-leading-logarithmic approximation (NLLA) of QCD. As a consequence of more accurate
kinematic considerations in the argument of the Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi (DGLAP)
fragmentation functions (FFs) we find a new NLLA correction

. The jet shape is derived from the energy collimation within the same
approximations and we also compare our calculations for the energy collimation with the event generators

JEM for the first time in this paper. The modification of jets by the medium in both cases is
implemented by altering the infrared sector using the Borghini-Wiedemann model. The energy collimation
and jet shapes qualitatively describe a clear broadening of showers in the medium, which is further
supported by Y

JEM jet shape with the CMS data shows a more
accurate agreement for biased showers and illustrates the importance of an accurate simulation of the
experimental jet-finding strategy.
