Emission of Low Momentum Particles at Large Angles from Jet

Abstract

We study dynamics of a QGP fluid induced by energetic partons propagating through it. We construct a (3+1)-dimensional QGP-fluid+Jet model. When a jet traverses a uniform fluid, it induces a Mach cone structure of energy density distribution and a vortex ring surrounding a path of the jet. When a pair of jets travels through a radially expanding fluid, low momentum particles are dominantly induced at large angles from the quenched jet. This result is qualitatively consistent with observation of the CMS Collaboration at LHC.Comment: 4 pages, 2figures, to appear in the proceedings of Quark Matter 2012, August 13-18, Washington D.C., US
