Parton Energy Loss Without Transverse Momentum Broadening
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Jewel 1.0 Monte Carlo simulates jet evolution in a medium with a microscopic description of splitting and scattering processes. In the framework of this model we investigate the transverse momentum broadening due to medium effects in different scenarios. Depending on assumptions about hadronisation, we observe either a small increase or even a slight decrease of the mean transverse momentum, but no sizeable broadening. This appears to be a natural consequence of a model formulation which conserves energy and momentum microscopically at each splitting and at each scattering.

Probe Initial Parton Density and Formation Time via Jet Quenching
Medium modification of jet fragmentation function due to multiple scattering and induced gluon radiation leads directly to jet quenching or suppression of leading particle distribution from jet fragmentation. One can extract an effective total parton energy loss which can be related to the total transverse momentum broadening. For an expanding medium, both are shown to be sensitive to the initi...
متن کاملxF dependence of the Drell-Yan transverse momentum broadening
We analyze xF dependence of the Drell-Yan transverse momentum broadening in hadron-nucleus collisions. In terms of generalized factorization theorem, we show that the xF dependence of the transverse momentum broadening, ∆〈q2 T 〉(xF ), can be calculated in perturbative QCD. We demonstrate that ∆〈q2 T 〉(xF ) is a good observable for studying the effects of initial-state multiple scattering and ex...

High-pT particle spectra in p+p (p+̄p), p+A and A+B collisions are calculated within a lowest-order (LO) perturbative QCD (pQCD) parton model, including intrinsic transverse momentum, its broadening due to initial multiple parton scattering and jet quenching due to parton energy loss inside a dense medium. The intrinsic kT and its broadening in p+A and A+B collisions due to initial multiple part...

متن کاملParton picture for the strongly coupled SYM plasma
Deep inelastic scattering off the strongly coupledN = 4 supersymmetric Yang– Mills plasma at finite temperature can be computed within the AdS/CFT correspondence, with results which are suggestive of a parton picture for the plasma. Via successive branchings, essentially all partons cascade down to very small values of the longitudinal momentum fraction x and to transverse momenta smaller than ...
