Towards a spacetime description of hard parton evolution in the quark gluon plasma
Typical energy loss calcuations in AdS/CFT simulations use an initial condition of off-shell pairs of quarks placed back-to-back in the QGP, but a precise and theoretically motivated description of configuration does not exist. Quark virtuality can have noticeable effects on the rate of energy loss...
