Coherent medium-induced gluon radiation in hard forward $1\to 1$ partonic processes

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-01-20 v2

Abstract

We revisit the medium-induced coherent radiation associated to hard and forward (small angle) scattering of an energetic parton through a nuclear medium. We consider all 111\to 1 hard forward processes (ggg \to g, qqq \to q, qgq \to g and gqg \to q), and derive the energy spectrum of induced coherent radiation rigorously to all orders in the opacity expansion and for the specific case of a Coulomb scattering potential. We obtain a simple general formula for the induced coherent spectrum, which encompasses the results corresponding to previously known special cases.
