Jet-energy loss is an important sign of the creation of Quark-Gluon Plasma in heavy-ion collisions. High transverse momentum ($p_T$) partons are produced at the moment of initial hard scattering and are modified as a result of their…
Based on the factorization in perturbative QCD, a jet cross sections in heavy-ion collisions can be expressed as a convolution of the jet cross section in $p+p$ collisions and a jet energy loss distribution. Using this simple expression and…
When an energetic parton traverses the hot QCD medium it may suffer multiple scattering and lose its energy. The medium-induced gluon radiation for a massive quark will be suppressed relative to that of a light quark due to the dead-cone…
The most suitable way to study the jet quenching as a function of distance traversed is varying the impact parameter b of ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collision (initial energy density in nuclear overlapping zone is almost independent…
In jet quenching, a hard QCD parton, before fragmenting into a jet of hadrons, deposits a fraction of its energy in the medium, leading to suppressed production of high-$p_T$ hadrons. Assuming that the deposited energy quickly thermalizes,…
