Finding the remnants of lost jets at RHIC

arXiv:nucl-th/0305082 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2003.08.064

Abstract

A fast jet propagating through partonic matter loses energy by medium-induced gluon radiation. We propose a method to detect the energy loss of jets and the final-state interaction of the radiated gluons and the jets with the partonic medium. By embedding jets and radiated energy into a parton cascade, we find that the fate of lost jets can be studied by analyzing the momentum distribution of soft hadrons relative to the jet axis.
