Jet Quenching from soft QCD Scattering in the Quark-Gluon Plasma
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that partons traversing a quark-gluon plasma can lose substantial amounts of energy also by scatterings, and not only through medium-induced radiation as mainly considered previously. Results from Monte Carlo simulations of soft interactions of partons, emerging from a hard scattering, through multiple elastic scatterings on gluons in an expanding relativistic plasma show a sizeable jet quenching which can account for a substantial part of the effect observed in RHIC data.

Radiative 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...
متن کاملThe Soft Scattering Contribution to Jet Quenching in a Quark-gluon Plasma and General Properties of Partonic Energy Loss
Starting from the observation that soft rescattering of hard scattered partons from the colour charged remnant plays an important role in proton-proton collisions a similar model for soft scatterings in a quark-gluon plasma was constructed and implemented as a Monte Carlo event generator. The main emphasis was put on the question to what extend these soft scatterings can contribute to the energ...

We report on an experimental comparison of the characteristics of quark-induced jets based on an analysis of jet events selected from hadronic events at c.m. energy of 60 GeV in e+e- annihilations. The triangle plot shows that the majority are two-jet events. The three-jet events are also present but not as many as two-jet events. The mean transverse momentum is larger for three-jet events th...
متن کاملModeling 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 کاملSimulation 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...
