Rapidity dependence of large-p_t hadron production at RHIC
Alberto Polleri🇩🇪 · Feng Yuan🇩🇪
Abstract
We study the dependence of parton energy loss (quenching) on rapidity in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions at RHIC. This can provides invaluable information on the density of the medium, which should be more dilute going away from mid-rapidity, thereby reducing the effect of quenching. We predict a clear effect at moderate transverse momenta 3 GeV.
