MEDIUM-INDUCED GLUON RADIATION AND JET QUENCHING IN HEAVY-ION COLLISIONS

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.
