The transport coefficient q̂ in an anisotropic plasma
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the jet quenching parameter in the case of a fast moving quark in an anisotropic plasma. In the leading log approximation, strong indications are found that the transport coefficient increases with increasing anisotropy. Implications for the phenomenology at RHIC are discussed. c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence.

In this work we study the non-equilibrium dynamics of a quark-gluon plasma, as created in heavy-ion collisions. We investigate how big of a role plasma instabilities can play in the isotropization and equilibration of a quark-gluon plasma. In particular, we determine, among other things, how much collisions between the particles can reduce the growth rate of unstable modes. This is done both in...
متن کاملDetermining the BDMPS transport coefficient via medium-modified fragmentation functions
In nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC, partons produced at high transverse momentum can undergo multiple scattering within the collision region prior to fragmenting into hadrons. We have studied the resulting medium-modified fragmentation function based on a calculation of the BDMPS-Z medium-induced gluon radiation for a dense, expanding medium of small finite extension. Here we explain...
متن کاملTomography of nuclear matter: Comparing Drell-Yan with deep inelastic scattering data
A lot of new exciting data indicating a significant depletion of large p⊥ hadron production in central Au-Au collisions ( √ sNN = 200 GeV) have been presented at this conference [1]. This observed jet quenching can naturally be interpreted as coming from the large energy loss of hard quarks traveling through a quark-gluon plasma [2]. Therefore, it becomes of first importance to determine (and c...
متن کاملPlasma Effects in Jet Quenching
We consider the bremsstrahlung energy loss of high energy partons moving in the quarkgluon plasma, at weak coupling. We show that the rates for these processes receive large O(g) corrections from classical (nonabelian) plasma physics effects, which are calculated. In the high-energy (deep LPM) regime these corrections can be absorbed in a change of the transverse momentum broadening coefficient...
متن کاملPAIRED ANISOTROPIC DISTRIBUTION FOR IMAGE SELECTIVE SMOOTHING
In this paper, we present a novel approach for image selective smoothing by the evolution of two paired nonlinear partial differential equations. The distribution coefficient in de-noising equation controls the speed of distribution, and is determined by the edge-strength function. In the previous works, the edge-strength function depends on isotropic smoothing of the image...
