Jet Flavor Tomography of Quark Gluon Plasmas at RHIC and LHC

Abstract

A new Monte Carlo model of jet quenching in nuclear collisions, CUJET1.0, is applied to predict the jet flavor dependence of the nuclear modification factor for fragments {\it $f=\pi ,D,B,e^{-}$} from quenched jet flavors {\it $g,u,c,b$} in central collisions at RHIC and LHC. The nuclear modification factors for different flavors are predicted to exhibit a novel level crossing pattern over a transverse momentum range $5<p_T<100$ GeV which can test jet-medium dynamics in quark gluon plasmas.
