ABSTRACT: The
energy loss during jet quenching due to the existence of Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) is calculated by Optical Glaube Monte Carlo model with data collected by ATLAS
Collaboration using the LHC detector. An energy loss formula for this situation
was modeled and took the form . The
nuclear modification factor, RAA, for
jets in a 208Pb + 208Pb
nucleus collision with rapidity interval of ∣у∣=2.8 and the initial transverse momentum of 50 GeV ≤ pT ≤ 1000 GeV, are
compared with various data plots produced by ATLAS Collaboration. RAA results
are plotted in different centrality bins, which are defined by the distribution
of number of participating nucleons Npart. The RAA value
was found to slowly increase at lower transverse momenta and flatten out at
higher transverse momenta. The model’s theoretical
calculation results turned out to be similar to the plots produced by the ATLAS
Collaboration using data from the LHC with small differences for higher
systematic uncertainty events.
