Glueball-Induced Partonic Energy Loss in Quark-Gluon Plasma

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v4

Abstract

We discuss the energy loss of energetic parton jets in quark-gluon plasma above the deconfinement temperature TcT_c by the interaction with scalar and pseudoscalar glueballs. It is shown that the loss by this mechanism is quite important and may play the important role of the observed jet-quenching.
