Extracting $\hat{q}$ from single inclusive data at RHIC and at the LHC for different centralities: a new puzzle?
Abstract
We present here an extraction of the jet transport coefficient, , using RHIC and LHC single-inclusive high- data for different centralities. We fit a -factor that determines the deviation of this coefficient from an ideal estimate, , where is given by hydrodynamic simulations. As obtained already in previous studies, this -factor is found to be larger at RHIC than at the LHC. However it is, unexpectedly, basically no-dependent on the centrality of the collision. Taken at face value this result, the -factor would not depend on local properties of the QGP as temperature, but on global collision variables such as the center of mass energy.
