A new Monte Carlo model of jet quenching in nuclear collisions, CUJET1.0, is applied to predict the jet flavor dependence of the nuclear modification factor for fragments {\it $f=\pi,D,B,e^-$} from quenched jet flavors {\it $g,u,c,b$} in…

The widespread notion that jets quenched in a Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) are similar in their parton flavor composition to jets in vacuum is critically examined. We demonstrate that while the soft to semi-hard [low to intermediate transverse…
