contents Motivated by color coherence and decoherence effects in the QCD medium, we propose a theoretical framework that combines vacuum-like emissions and medium-induced radiation to study jet quenching and its dependence on jet cone sizes and substructure. In our approach, a jet produced at a hard scale $Q$ first undergoes vacuum-like evolution, as described by the well-established generating-function method in the double logarithmic approximation. These vacuum-like emissions generate subjets at an infrared momentum scale $Q_0$. Each subjet then experiences medium-induced energy loss as described by the BDMPS-Z formalism. By modeling the QCD bulk medium using OSU (2+1)-dimensional viscous hydrodynamics and treating $Q_0$ together with the jet-quenching parameters at the initial proper time of the hydrodynamic evolution as free parameters, our approach provides a very good description of the inclusive jet modification factor $R_{AA}$ for large-radius jets and its dependence on jet substructure in 0-10% PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02~\rm{TeV}$, as measured by the ATLAS experiment.
