Some new results for "jet" stopping in AdS/CFT

Abstract

We give a breezy, qualitative overview of some of our recent results on studying jet stopping in strongly-coupled plasmas using gauge-gravity duality. Previously, people have found that the maximum stopping distance in such plasmas scales with energy as E^{1/3}. We show that there is an important distinction between typical and maximum stopping distances. For the strongly-coupled excitations that we study, we find that the typical stopping distance scales with energy as E^{1/4}.
