Gluon Bremsstrahlung in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2020-09-30 v3

Abstract

We study the process qqqqgqq\rightarrow qqg at lowest order in QCD perturbation theory to understand gluon radiation in the fragmentation region of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We arrive at a formula for gluon multiplicity that interpolates between 1/k2\sim 1/k_{\bot}^2 behavior at low kk_{\bot}, to 1/k4\sim 1/k_{\bot}^4 at large kk_{\bot}.
