Similar suppression for RHIC and LHC? RHIC data from PHENIX publication – 0 in Au+Au @ 0.2TeV LHC data from ALICE publication – Charged hadrons in Pb+Pb @ 2.76TeV Center-of-mass energies differ by a factor of 14! Similar R AA doesn’t mean similar energy loss – R AA is not a good quantity? – Power of the spectra is different energy loss will be different 2014-09-12T.

New quantity ~momentum loss~ Coming back to the original idea: measuring energy loss of partons Statistically measure the fractional momentum loss ( p T /p T ) of high p T hadrons instead of R AA. 2014-09-12 8 T. Sakaguchi, HPT2014@Nantes, France pTpT pTpT (p+p) denotes p+p yield scaled by number of binary nucleon- nucleon collisions (N coll ).

In 2005, statistics was not enough, so.. We assumed that the spectra at high p T follows power-law function With this assumption, we wrote a formula to obtain p T /p T from R AA – Fractional momentum shift: S(p T )/p T =S 0 2014-09-12T.

Systematic studies across systems We tried to plot p T /p T against universal variables Number of participant nucleons (N part ) Number of quark participants (N qp ) Charged multiplicity (dN ch /d ), as a measure of the energy density 2014-09-12T. Sakaguchi, HPT2014@Nantes, France 21
22
Number of quark participants (Nqp)? Number of quark participants, N qp, is estimated using a Glauber model. – Nucleons are distributed using a Woods- Saxon distribution. – Quarks are distributed around the nucleon centers following: (r)= 0 proton e - ar, where a = 4.27 fm -1. Quarks interact when their distance, d, satisfies the condition of: Quark-quark inelastic cross section ( qq inel ) is estimated by reproducing the n-n inelastic cross section of: 2014-09-12T.

Summary Looking at fractional momentum loss gives more insight on actual energy loss of partons – Similar R AA does not give similar energy loss Centrality, system, and energy dependence of fractional momentum loss is studied. – A trend is seen from 200GeV Au+Au to 2.76TeV Pb+Pb p T /p T vs dN ch /d for 200GeV Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions tend to merge into the one for 2.76TeV Pb+Pb collisions at larger dN ch /d , independent of √s NN. Within same √s NN, both N part and N qp scaling work very well. 2014-09-12T. Sakaguchi, HPT2014@Nantes, France 30
