SLIDE 20 pT broadening - prediction
Utilizing the CERN MINUIT χ2 minimization package, we found that: ⟨p2
⊥⟩ = 13+5 −4 GeV2
for a quark jet at RHIC peak energy. We can also plot the q⊥ distribution for different energy scale, one can see that ˆ q should be more sensitive to RHIC energy scale than LHC scale. q∗2
⊥AA ≃ q∗2 ⊥pp + ⟨p2 ⊥⟩
By investigating the energy loss effect in the medium, we can further extract the effective length of the propagating jet. Or vice-versa.
