Collisional energy loss and the suppression of high hadrons
arXiv:nucl-th/0608058 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2006.11.145
Abstract
We calculate nuclear suppression factor () for light hadrons by taking only the elastic processes and argue that in the measured domain of RHIC, collisional rather than the radiative processes is the dominant mechanism for partonic energy loss.
