Abstract:
We derive an analytical expression for the quenching factor in the strong quenching limit where the pTp_T spectrum of hard partons is dominated by surface emission. We explore the phenomenological consequences of different scaling laws for the energy loss and calculate the additional suppression of the away-side jet.
