Simulation of jet quenching in heavy ion collisions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The method to simulate the rescattering and energy loss of hard partons in heavy ion collisions has been developed. The model is a fast Monte-Carlo tool introduced to modify a standard PYTHIA jet event. The full heavy ion event is obtained as a superposition of a soft hydro-type state and hard multi-jets. The model is applied to analysis of the jet quenching pattern at RHIC and LHC.
