Extracting the temperature dependence in high-$p_{\perp }$ particle energy loss

Abstract

The suppression of high-$p_{\perp }$ particles is one of the main signatures of parton energy loss during its passing through the QGP medium, and is reasonably reproduced by different theoretical models. However, a decisive test of the reliability of a certain energy loss mechanism, apart from its path-length, is its temperature dependence. Despite its importance and comprehensive dedicated studies, this issue is still awaiting for more stringent constraints. To this end, we here propose a novel observable to extract temperature dependence exponent of high-$p_{\perp }$ particle's energy loss, based on $R_{AA}$. More importantly, by combining analytical arguments, full-fledged numerical calculations and comparison with experimental data, we argue that this observable is highly suited for testing (and rejecting) the long-standing $\Delta E/E\propto L^2{T}^3$ paradigm. The anticipated significant reduction of experimental errors will allow direct extraction of temperature dependence, by considering different centrality pair in $A+A$ collisions (irrespective of the nucleus size) in high-$p_{\perp }$ region. Overall, our results imply that this observable, which reflects the underlying energy loss mechanism, is very important to distinguish between different theoretical models.
