Leading-particle suppression and surface emission in nucleus-nucleus collisions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-11 v2

Abstract

After a short summary of the predictions of the Parton Quenching Model (PQM) for the nuclear modification factor and its centrality dependence in Au-Au collisions at RHIC, we concentrate on back-to-back jet-like correlations at high transverse momentum. We illustrate how this probe is biased by the surface effect.
