Partonic jet–quenching and high–pT phenomena in transport simulations including inelastic interactions — •Oliver Fochler, Zhe Xu, and Carsten Greiner — Institut für Theoretische Physik, J. W. Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt am Main
We investigate partonic energy loss and jet–quenching within the framework of the Monte Carlo transport model BAMPS. The model consistently includes inelastic gg ↔ ggg processes by means of a stochastic approach, leading to fast thermalization of the matter in simulated heavy–ion collisions. We present our latest results on the nuclear modification factor RAA in fully dynamic simulations of central nucleus–nucleus collisions and on partonic energy loss in static media. We briefly touch on collective flow, v2, and on the ratio of viscosity to entropy density, η/s, which can be investigated within the same framework.
