Abstract

Within a multi-phase transport model with string melting scenario, jet transport parameter q^\hat{q} is calculated in Au+Au collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{NN} } = 200 GeV and Pb+Pb collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{NN} } = 2.76 TeV. The q^\hat{q} increases with the increasing of jet energy for both partonic phase and hadronic phase. The energy and path length dependences of q^\hat{q} in full heavy-ion evolution are consistent with the expectations of jet quenching. The correlation between jet transport parameter q^\hat{q} and dijet transverse momentum asymmetry AJA_{J} is mainly investigated, which discloses that a larger q^\hat{q} corresponds to a larger AJA_{J}. It supports a consistent jet energy loss picture from the two viewpoints of single jet and dijet. It is proposed to measure dijet asymmetry distributions with different jet transport parameter ranges as a new potential method to study jet quenching physics in high energy heavy-ion collisions.
