Collisional Energy Loss in a Finite Size QCD Matter
Computation of collisional energy loss in finite size QCD medium has become crucial to obtain reliable predictions for jet quenching in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. We here compute this energy loss up to the zeroth order in opacity. Our approach consistently treats both soft and hard contributions to the collisional energy loss. Consequently, it removes the unphysical energy gain in...
متن کاملMass Hierarchy of Collisional Energy Loss
Collisional parton energy loss is revisited within a simple model assuming incoherent elastic scattering of on-shell projectile partons on partonic constituents of the QGP with HTL screening. The thermal motion of plasma particles is carefully taken into account. Results on dE/dx are found to be consistent with other authors. There is a significant discrepancy in the energy loss pattern for the...
متن کاملAngular Structure of Energy Losses of Hard Jet in Dense Qcd-matter
Angular structure of radiative and collisional energy losses of a hard parton jet propagating through dense QCD-matter is investigated. For small angular jet cone sizes, θ0 ∼ 50 − 100, the radiative energy loss is shown to dominate over the collisional energy loss due to final state elastic rescattering of the hard projectile on thermal particles in the medium. Due to coherent effects, the radi...
متن کاملTransition Radiation in QCD matter
In ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions a finite size QCD medium is created. In this paper we compute radiative energy loss to zeroth order in opacity by taking into account finite size effects. Transition radiation occurs on the boundary between the finite size medium and the vacuum, and we show that it lowers the difference between medium and vacuum zeroth order radiative energy loss relati...
متن کاملJet Physics in CMS Heavy Ion Programme
In this note, we report on the study of jet+ jet, γ + jet and Z(→ μμ) + jet production in heavy ion collisions. In particular, we review the capability of the CMS detector to observe the energy losses of quarkand gluon-initiated jets in a dense QCD matter. 1 Jet quenching: jet + jet, γ + jet and Z + jet production Hard jet production is considered to be an efficient probe for formation of super...
