  The modification of hard jets in an extended static medium held at a fixed
temperature is studied using three different Monte-Carlo event generators (LBT,
MATTER, MARTINI). Each event generator contains a different set of assumptions
regarding the energy and virtuality of the partons within a jet versus the
energy scale of the medium, and hence, applies to a different epoch in the
space-time history of the jet evolution. For the first time, modeling is
developed where a jet may sequentially transition from one generator to the
next, on a parton-by-parton level, providing a detailed simulation of the
space-time evolution of medium modified jets over a much broader dynamic range
than has been attempted previously in a single calculation. Comparisons are
carried out for different observables sensitive to jet quenching, including the
parton fragmentation function and the azimuthal distribution of jet energy
around the jet axis. The effect of varying the boundary between different
generators is studied and a theoretically motivated criterion for the location
of this boundary is proposed. The importance of such an approach with coupled
generators to the modeling of jet quenching is discussed.
