An alternative model of jet suppression at RHIC energies

We propose a simple Glauber-type mechanism for the suppression of jet production up to transverse momenta of about 10 \(\mathrm {GeV}/c\) at RHIC. For processes in this kinematic region, the formation time is smaller than the interval between two successive hard partonic collisions and the subsequen...

Description
Summary:We propose a simple Glauber-type mechanism for the suppression of jet production up to transverse momenta of about 10 \(\mathrm {GeV}/c\) at RHIC. For processes in this kinematic region, the formation time is smaller than the interval between two successive hard partonic collisions and the subsequent collision influences the jet production. The number of jets then roughly scales with the number of participants. Proportionality to the number of binary collisions is recovered for very high transverse momenta. The model predicts suppression of jet production in \(d + {\mathrm {Au}}\) collisions at RHIC.
