Radiative energy loss of high energy quarks and gluons in a finite volume quark-gluon plasma

The medium induced energy loss spectrum of a high energy quark or gluon traversing a hot QCD medium of finite volume is studied. We model the interaction by a simple picture of static scattering centres. The total induced energy loss is found to grow as $L^2$, where $L$ is the extent of the medium....

description The medium induced energy loss spectrum of a high energy quark or gluon traversing a hot QCD medium of finite volume is studied. We model the interaction by a simple picture of static scattering centres. The total induced energy loss is found to grow as $L^2$, where $L$ is the extent of the medium. The solution of the energy loss problem is reduced to the solution of a Schrödinger-like equation whose ``potential'' is given by the single-scattering cross section of the high energy parton in the medium. These resuls should be directly applicable to a quark-gluon plasma.

We model the interaction by a simple picture of static scattering centres. The total induced energy loss is found to grow as L 2 , where L is the extent of the medium. This quadratic behaviour holds for L smaller than a critical length L cr α √ E . The solution of the energy loss problem is reduced to the solution of a Schrödinger-like equation whose “potential” is given by the single-scattering cross section of the high energy parton in the medium. These results should be directly applicable to a quark-gluon plasma.hep-ph/9607355BI-TP-96-21CUTP-759LPTHE-ORSAY-96-34BI-TP-96-21CU-TP-759LPTHE-96-34oai:cds.cern.ch:3072051996-07-17
