Rapidity dependence of large-p_t hadron production at RHIC

Nuclear Theory 2007-05-23 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We study the dependence of parton energy loss (quenching) on rapidity in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions at RHIC. This can provides invaluable information on the density of the medium, which should be more dilute going away from mid-rapidity, thereby reducing the effect of quenching. We predict a clear effect at moderate transverse momenta \sim 3 GeV.
