Abstract

We calculate photons from jet-plasma interaction considering collisional and radiative energy loss of jet parton. The phase space distribution of the participating jet is dynamically evolved by solving Fokker-Planck equation. We treat the strong coupling constant (αs\alpha_s) as function of momentum and temperature while calculating the drag and diffusion coefficients. It is observed that the quenching factor is substantially modified as compared to the case when αs\alpha_s is taken as constant. It is shown that the Phenix data is reasonably well reproduced when contributions from all the relevant sources are taken into account.
