Gluon energy loss in the gauge-string duality

arXiv:0803.1470 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2008/10/052

Abstract

We estimate the stopping length of an energetic gluon in a thermal plasma of strongly coupled N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory by representing the gluon as a doubled string rising up out of the horizon.
