The LPM effect in QCD and Radiative energy loss in a quark-gluon plasma
نویسندگان
چکیده
The non-abelian analog of the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect is investigated in perturbative QCD. Extending our previous studies, the suppression of induced soft bremsstrahlung due to multiple scatterings of quarks in the spinor representation is considered. The effective formation time of gluon radiation due to the color interference is shown to depend on the color representation of the emitting parton, and an improved formula for the radiative energy loss is derived that interpolates between the factorization and BetheHeitler limits. 24.85.+p, 12.38.Mh, 25.75.+r, 13.87.Ce Typeset using REVTEX Permanent address. 1

Modeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions
By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...
متن کاملRadiative energy loss of high energy quarks in finite-size nuclear matter and quark-gluon plasma
The induced gluon radiation of a high energy quark in a finite-size QCD medium is studied. For a sufficiently energetic quark produced inside a medium we find the radiative energy loss ∆Eq ∝ L, where L is the distance passed by quark in the medium. It has a weak dependence on the initial quark energy Eq. The L 2 dependence turns to L as the quark energy decreases. Numerical calculations are per...
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 کاملDynamical Screening and Radiative Parton Energy Loss in a Quark-gluon Plasma
Dynamical screening in the magnetic part of the one-gluon exchange interaction is included in the study of radiative energy loss of a fast parton propagating inside a quark-gluon plasma. As a result the final radiative energy loss is about twice as large as when only the electric part of one-gluon exchange interaction is considered. A non-perturbative magnetic screening mass is also used in the...
متن کاملRadiative Energy Loss of Hard Parton Jet in Expanding Quark−gluon Fluid
The gluon radiation induced by multiple scattering of a hard parton in expanding quark-gluon plasma is investigated. The radiative energy loss of hard parton jet is shown to decrease considerably when angular size of extracted jet goes up, but the fraction of loss survives even for the reasonable wide cone of angles due to the coherent effects taking into account the rescattering of the radiate...
