contents We compute the spectrum of gluons emitted by a highly energetic quark inside a flowing QCD medium, focusing on the soft gluon limit at first order in the opacity expansion. Specifically, we derive the leading energy-suppressed corrections to the double differential final parton distribution, and show that they are substantial for both static and flowing matter. In particular, we demonstrate that the corrections due to the transverse flow become large even at moderate energies and flow velocities, affecting drastically both the shape and magnitude of the spectrum. We observe that the final transverse momentum of the emitted gluon tends to align along the flow direction, resulting in a non-trivial azimuthal distribution. These results can be directly implemented into the estimation of multiple observables to get a better understanding of the jet-medium interaction processes in HICs.
