Energy loss for heavy quarks in relation to light partons: is radiative energy loss for heavy quarks anomalous?
The scaling properties of jet-suppression measurements are compared for nonphotonic electrons (e+/-) and neutral pions (pi(0)) in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[S(NN)]=200 GeV. For a broad range of transverse momenta and collision centralities, the comparison is consistent with jet quenching dominated by radiative energy loss for both heavy and light partons. Less quenching is indicated for heavy qua...
متن کاملEnergy loss of fast quarks in nuclei.
We report an analysis of the nuclear dependence of the yield of Drell-Yan dimuons from the 800 GeV/c proton bombardment of 2H, C, Ca, Fe, and W targets. Employing a new formulation of the Drell-Yan process in the rest frame of the nucleus, this analysis examines the effect of initial-state energy loss and shadowing on the nuclear-dependence ratios versus the incident proton's momentum fraction ...
متن کاملHeavy Quark Radiative Energy Loss - Applications to RHIC
Heavy quark energy loss in a hot QCD plasma is computed taking into account the competing effects due to suppression of zeroth order gluon radiation bellow the plasma frequency and the enhancement of gluon radiation due to transition energy loss and medium induced Bremsstrahlung. Heavy quark medium induced radiative energy loss is derived to all orders in opacity, (L/λg) . Numerical evaluation ...
متن کاملEnergy Loss of Heavy Quarks in a QGP with a Running Coupling Constant Approach
We show that the effective running coupling constant, αeff , and the effective regulator, κm̃D, which we used recently to calculate the energy loss, dE dx , and the elliptic flow, v2, of heavy quarks in an expanding quark gluon plasma plasma (QGP) [1] are compatible with lattice results and with recently advanced analytical pQCD calculation.
متن کاملRadiative Energy Loss of High Energy Quarks and Gluons in a Finite Volume Quark-gluon Plasma
The medium induced energy loss spectrum of a high energy quark or gluon traversing a hot QCD medium of finite volume is studied. We model the interaction by a simple picture of static scattering centres. The total induced energy loss is found to grow as L, where L is the extent of the medium. The solution of the energy loss problem is reduced to the solution of a Schrödingerlike equation whose ...
