We perform an analysis of jet quenching in heavy and light ion collisions for scenarios without and with quark-gluon plasma formation in $pp$ collisions. We find that the results for these scenarios are very similar, and both of them are in…
Jet quenching in heavy-ion collisions probes parton energy loss in the quark--gluon plasma (QGP), but the extracted transport properties may not be universally constrained across centrality, beam energy, and observable class. In this work,…
We study the effects of jet quenching on the hydrodynamical evolution of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) fluid created in a heavy-ion collision. In jet quenching, a hard QCD parton, before fragmenting into a jet of hadrons, deposits a fraction…
