Simulation of jet quenching in heavy ion collisions

Abstract

The method to simulate the rescattering and energy loss of hard partons in heavy ion collisions has been developed. The model is a fast Monte-Carlo tool introduced to modify a standard PYTHIA jet event. The full heavy ion event is obtained as a superposition of a soft hydro-type state and hard multi-jets. The model is applied to analysis of the jet quenching pattern at RHIC and LHC.
