RHIC and LHC jet suppression in non-central collisions
Understanding properties of QCD matter created in ultra-relativistic
heavy-ion collisions is a major goal of RHIC and LHC experiments. An excellent
tool to study these properties is jet suppression of light and heavy flavor
observables. Utilizing this tool requires accurate suppression predictions for
different experiments, probes and experimental conditions, and their unbiased
comparison with experimental data. With this goal, we here extend our dynamical
energy loss formalism towards generating predictions for non-central
collisions; the formalism takes into account both radiative and collisional
energy loss, dynamical (as opposed to static) scattering centers, finite
magnetic mass, running coupling and uses no free parameters in comparison with
experimental data. Specifically, we here generate predictions for all available
centrality ranges, for both LHC and RHIC experiments, and for four different
probes (charged hadrons, neutral pions, D mesons and non-prompt ). We
obtain a very good agreement with all available non-central data, and also
generate predictions for suppression measurements that will soon become
available. Finally, we discuss implications of the obtained good agreement with
experimental data with different medium models that are currently considered.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
