Quenching of hadron spectra due to the collisional energy loss of partons in the quark-gluon plasma

  • Published:
Acta Physica Hungarica Series A, Heavy Ion Physics

Abstract

We estimate the energy loss distribution and investigate the quenching of hadron spectra in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions due to the collisional energy loss of energetic partons from hard parton collisions in the initial stage.
