Leading particle suppressed Jet Quenching hadrons q q hadrons A-A collision leading particle suppressed I. Background Suppression of high Pt hadron spectra
Bjorken 1982: collisional energy loss • Gyulassy, Wang, et al. (90’s): radiative energy loss dominates • BDMPS, 1997, Energy loss ~ Nucl. Phys. B484:265, (1997) . • G-W Model, Opacity Expansion, Phys. Rev. Lett 85, 5535, (2000) Light Quark Energy Loss in a Static Medium Light hadrons suppression observed at RHIC is consisted with predictions from jet quenching theory.

Dead Cone Reduce Significantly with Flow Triple Gluon Vertex Process
Summary of Dead Cone • 1. two dead cone • 2. one dead cone in a static medium is a special case • 3. dead cone decreases with • 4. contribution of triple gluon vertex process increases
LPM Effect in a Static Medium In a static medium Formation time of gluon radiation become shorter LPM effect is significantly reduced for heavy quark What is LPM Effect in a Dynamic Medium?
