Parton energy loss and momentum broadening at NLO in high temperature QCD plasmas
@article{Ghiglieri2015PartonEL, title={Parton energy loss and momentum broadening at NLO in high temperature QCD plasmas}, author={Jacopo Ghiglieri and Derek A. Teaney}, journal={arXiv: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology}, year={2015} }
We present an overview of a perturbative-kinetic approach to jet propagation, energy loss, and momentum broadening in a high temperature quark-gluon plasma. The leading-order kinetic equations describe the interactions between energetic jet-particles and a non-abelian plasma, consisting of on-shell thermal excitations and soft gluonic fields. These interactions include 2 2 scatterings, collinear bremsstrahlung, and drag and momentum diffusion. We show how the contribution from the soft gluonic…
