High pT azimuthal asymmetry in noncentral A+A at RHIC

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters

The high pT>3 GeV azimuthal asymmetry, v{sub 2}(pT),in non-central nuclear collisions at RHIC is shown to be a sensitive measure of the initial parton density distribution of the produced quark-gluon plasma. A generalization of the Gyulassy-Levai-Vitev (GLV)non-abelian energy loss formalism including Bjorken 1+1D expansion as well as important kinematic constraints is used.
