@ INT/RHIC workshop12/15/200215Jiangyong Jia Model Assumptions to Compare with Data l Model is simplistic and can only describes main features of geometry l Assume all particles above 4 GeV/c from jets l Assume jets are back-to-back l Ignore the fragmentation l Contains no pT and s and flavor dependence l Try different kind of absorption : l is the only free parameter Adjust absorption strength k to reproduce suppression factor of 3.5(charged) and 5( ) in most central collisions. l Predict centrality dependence of yield suppression l Predict centrality dependence of di-jet suppression l Predict centrality dependence of v2 Normal nuclear absorption Energy loss style absorption Absorption + expansion, l 0 ~ 0.2 fm

18
@ INT/RHIC workshop12/15/200218Jiangyong Jia Centrality dependence of v2 l NB: in these models,v2 are purely geometrical origin, does not consider detailed modification of momentum distribution l Geometrical anisotropy is insufficient to produce observed v2 by jet absorption l V2 is sensitive to absorption model, smallest for longitudinal expanding source l V2 will increase using hard sphere or cylindrical nuclear profile, but unphysical
19
@ INT/RHIC workshop12/15/200219Jiangyong Jia Varying l Maximum v2 produce by surface. l Different geometrical profile have different geometrical limit. l v2 is below geometrical limit at experimental observed suppression value Suppression factor for 0-5% centrality V2 for 50-55% centrality Away side jet for 0-5% centrality hard sphere profile For sphere, surface volume is cylindrical profile S.
