Gluon Emission of Heavy Quarks: Dead Cone Effect


Gluon Emission of Heavy Quarks: Dead Cone Effect

Thomas, R.; Kämpfer, B.; Soff, G.

The lowest-order induced soft gluon radiation processes of heavy quarks are considered with the aim to quantify the dead cone effect. The dead cone effect is expected to suppress significantly the energy loss of charm quarks passing an amorphous colour-neutral deconfined medium, as anticipated in recent experiments at RHIC.

Keywords: Induced gluon radiation; energy loss; dead cone
