Jet quenching parameter in an expanding QCD plasma

We study the phenomenon of transverse momentum broadening for a high-pT parton propagating through a weakly-coupled quark–gluon plasma undergoing boost-invariant longitudinal expansion. We propose a boost-invariant description for this phenomenon, in which the broadening refers to the angular variab...
