摘要: We investigate the system size dependence of jet-quenching by analyzing transverse momentum spectra neutral pions in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}}$ =200 GeV for different centralities. The fast partons are assumed to lose energy radiating gluons as they traverse plasma undergo multiple collisions. loss per collision, $\epsilon$, is taken proportional $E$(where $E$ parton), $\sqrt{E}$, or a constant depending on whether formation time gluon less than mean path, greater free path but length, length partons, respectively. NLO pQCD used evaluate pion production modifying fragmentation function account loss. reproduce nuclear modification factor $R_\textrm{AA}$ treating $\epsilon$ only parameter, centrality mechanism These values seen explain prompt photons, caused lost final state quarks before fragment into photons. also azimuthal asymmetry distribution within two photons fair agreement with experimental data.
