Gluon Shadowing and Hadron Production at RHIC
read the original abstract
Hadron multiplicity in the central rapidity region of high-energy heavy-ion collisions is investigated within a two-component mini-jet model which consists of soft and semi-hard particle production. The hard contribution from mini-jets is reevaluated using the latest parameterization of parton distributions and nuclear shadowing. The energy dependence of the experimental data from RHIC requires a strong nuclear shadowing of the gluon distribution in this model. The centrality dependence of the hadron multiplicity at $\sqrt{s}=130$ GeV is reproduced well with the impact-parameter dependent parton shadowing. However, energy variation of the centrality dependence is needed to distinguish different particle production mechanisms such as the parton saturation model.

Jet cone size dependence of single inclusive jet suppression due to jet quenching in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV
Jet nuclear modification factor R_AA increases with cone radius R as in-cone energy loss from elastic recoils and radiated gluons decreases at larger radii.
