Parton energy loss and particle production at high momenta from ALICE

Abstract

Partons, produced in the early stages of heavy-ion collisions, lose energy while propagating through the collision medium. This energy loss can be studied by comparing particle yields in different systems (pp, p--Pb, Pb--Pb). In addition, particle yields in different systems can be used to study hadronization mechanisms.Partons, produced in the early stages of heavy-ion collisions, lose energy while propagating through the collision medium.
