Jet quenching parameters of Sakai-Sugimoto Model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-07-09 v2

Abstract

Using gauge theory/string duality, we calculated the jet quenching parameter q^\hat{q} of the Sakai-Sugimoto model in various phases. Being different from the N=4\mathcal{N}=4 SYM theory where q^T3\hat{q}\propto T^3, we find that q^T4/Td\hat{q}\propto T^4/T_d, where TdT_d is the critical temperature of the confined/deconfined phase transition. By analyzing the q^\hat{q} in different phases of this theory, we get better understanding about some statements in previous works, such as the non-universality and the explanation of discrepancies between the theory predictions and experiments.
