Multiple parton scattering and induced parton energy loss are studied in deeply inelastic scattering (DIS) off nuclei. The effect of multiple scattering of a highly off-shell quark and the induced parton energy loss is expressed in terms of the modification to the quark fragmentation functions. We d

β¦ Synopsis
The similarities and differences between three commonly used formalisms for radiative parton energy loss in hot strongly interacting matter are discussed. The single gluon emission spectra are evaluated for a model system consisting of a homogeneous medium with a fixed length, the 'TECHQM brick'. Sizable quantitative differences are found and the origins of these differences are discussed.

While strong attenuation of single particle production and particle correlations has provided convincing evidence for large parton energy loss in the QGP, its application to jet tomography has inherent limitations due to the inclusive nature of the measurements. Generalization of this suppression to
We investigate the energy loss of heavy quarks in the gas, liquid and solid phase of a classical quarkgluon plasma (cQGP) using molecular dynamics simulations. The model consists of massive quarks and gluons interacting as a classical non-relativistic colored Coulomb gas. We show that the electric f
