abstract

The medium-induced $p_{\perp}$-broadening and induced gluon radiation spectrum of a high energy quark or gluon traversing a large nucleus is studied. Multiple scattering of the high energy parton in the nucleus is treated in the Glauber approximation. We show that -dE/dz, the radiative energy loss of the parton per unit length, grows as L, the length of the nuclear matter, as does the characteristic transverse momentum squared of the parton $p_{\perp W}^2$. We find dE/dz = (1/8)\alpha_s N_c $p_{\perp W}^2$ holds independent of the details of the parton-nucleon scatterings so long as L is large. Numerical estimates suggest that $p_{\perp}$-broadening and energy loss may be significantly enhanced in hot matter as compared to cold matter, thus making the study of such quantities a possible signal for quark-gluon plasma formation.

  1. Finite Formation Time Antenna Radiation: Color Spectators Break Single-Emitter BDMPS-Z

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Medium interactions during the finite formation time of a color-singlet q-qbar pair create spectator-leg correlations that make the direct gluon-emission contribution deviate from the single-emitter BDMPS-Z spectrum.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    At first order in opacity, the medium-modified q->q c cbar splitting function factorizes into products of q->q g and g->c cbar splitting functions in three strongly ordered collinear limits.

  3. Matching collinear factorization with color-glass condensate for inclusive and exclusive deep inelastic scattering

    hep-ph 2026-05 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Collinear factorization amplitudes exactly reproduce the large-Q² expansion of CGC amplitudes for inclusive DIS, DVCS, and DVMP at the amplitude level.

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    In large-Nc and harmonic oscillator limits, medium-induced splittings are computed analytically double-differential in z and θ, with an improved semi-hard approximation validated for high-energy partons.

    A single shockwave Feynman-rule framework reproduces and extends prior small-x parton distributions, yielding new quark GTMD/GPD/PDF and diffractive-TMD results.

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The full angle-dependent jet-medium collision kernel is extracted from QCD kinetic theory for the pre-equilibrium plasma, revealing strong early-time anisotropy and up to 300% error in the isotropic splitting rates us...

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Pair production overlapping soft bremsstrahlung enhances the in-medium radiation rate above the standard LPM value, opposite to the 1964 prediction of Galitsky and Gurevich.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    BEDA kinetic evolution washes out initial azimuthal anisotropies with higher harmonics relaxing faster and shifts the pT peak of vn upward, qualitatively matching small-system data.

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Combined short-path-length (APL) and sub-eikonal corrections to GLV momentum broadening nearly cancel, restoring the standard GLV result; the paper argues this may resolve the earlier large negative APL energy-loss co...

    Medium-induced gluon radiation computed with kinetic-theory backgrounds shows a persistent, non-vanishing imprint of the pre-equilibrium stage on jet spectra, so jet observables can probe early-time dynamics in heavy-...

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A pQCD energy loss model with short-pathlength corrections shows the large formation time approximation fails self-consistently and, after a one-parameter fit, describes RHIC small systems while failing LHC small systems.

    Overlap corrections to in-medium QCD parton showers are about 0.005 in the large-Nf limit, confirming that showers can be treated as independent splittings.
