Plots obtained with PYQUEN1_0 for Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt{s}=5.5 A TeV (jet cone size R=0.5)



L-dependence (left) and E-dependence (right) of quark energy loss

BDMS limits: dE~L**2,ln(E) at L->0; dE~L,sqrt{E} at L->00


Azimuthal dependence of parton path length (left) and quark energy loss (right)

Azimuthal anisotropy of path length for non-central collisions results in azimuthal anisotropy of energy loss


Distribution over number of in-medium emitted gluons per jet (left) and their energy spectrum (right) for Et(initial parton)>100 GeV (b=0)
PYQUEN - vacuum shower before in-medium radiation, PYQUENm - vacuum shower after in-medium radiation


Reproducing BDMS spectrum


Distribution over energy loss of single parton (left) and of jet out of cone R=0.5 (right) for Et(initial parton)>100 GeV (b=0)
PYQUEN - vacuum shower before in-medium radiation, PYQUENm - vacuum shower after in-medium radiation


Spectrum of medium-induced partonic energy loss is rather wide and peaked on zero and on initial parton energy;
Spectrum of medium-induced jet energy loss (out of cone R=0.5) has maximum and sensitive to treatment of vacuum shower



Jet fragmentation function (longitudinal profile) for Et(initial parton)>100 GeV (left) and for Et(final jet)>100 GeV (right)(b=0)
PYQUEN - vacuum shower before in-medium radiation, PYQUENm - vacuum shower after in-medium radiation


Low-z enhancement and high-z suppression (less pronounced for triggering on final jet energy due to "jet energy rescaling", and sensitive to treatment of vacuum shower in this case)


Jet fragmentation function (transverse profile) for Et(initial parton)>100 GeV (left) and for Et(final jet)>100 GeV (right)(b=0)
PYQUEN - vacuum shower before in-medium radiation, PYQUENm - vacuum shower after in-medium radiation


Kt-softening is clearly visible only in the case without triggering on final jet energy
