K. Chaudhuri<br/>In jet quenching, a hard quantum chromodynamics parton, before fragmenting into a jet of hadrons, deposits a fraction of its energy in the medium, leading to suppressed production of high-p_{T} hadrons. Assuming that the deposited energy quickly thermalizes, we simulate the subsequent hydrodynamic e...<br/>[Phys. Rev. C 77, 027901] Published Mon Feb 25, 2008 A. K.

Becattini, F. Piccinini, and J. Rizzo<br/>The effects of angular momentum conservation in peripheral heavy ion collisions at very high energy are investigated. It is shown that the initial angular momentum of the quark-gluon plasma should enhance the azimuthal anisotropy of particle spectra (elliptic flow) with respect to the usual picture ...<br/>[Phys.

We calculate, to first order in the opacity, the energy loss suffered by a heavy quark traveling through an...<br/>[Phys. Rev.
