Jet quenching in high energy heavy ion collisions by QCD synchrotronlike radiation

Jet Quenching in Heavy Ion Collisions

Simulation of Jet Quenching in Heavy Ion Collisions

One of the important tools for studying the properties of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions is the analysis of a QCD jet production. The medium-induced energy loss of energetic partons, “jet quenching”, should be very different in the cold nuclear matter and QGP, resulting in many observable phenomena . Recent RHIC data on high-pT particle production at √ s = 20...

Fast simulation of jet quenching in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions

The method for simulation of medium-induced rescattering and energy loss of hard partons in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions is developed. The model is realized as fast Monte-Carlo tool implemented to modify standard PYTHIA jet event.

Phenomenology of Jet Quenching in Heavy Ion Collisions

It is commonly believed that the yield for “hard” observables in high-energy nuclear reactions scales as the number of binary nucleon-nucleon (NN) collisions occurring during the encounter of the two nuclei. This expectation applies to processes that are characterized by a high virtuality q, for which final state interactions are negligible, such as lepton pair production or the total yield of ...

Jet Quenching in Heavy Ion Collisions from AdS/CFT

The phenomenon of jet supression observed in highly energetic heavy ion collisions is discussed. The focus is devoted to the stunning applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence [1] to describe these real time processes, hard to be illuminated by other means. In particular, the introduction of as many flavors as colors into the quark-gluon plasma is scrutinized.
