• Intemediate large E, absorption is important

•Energy dependence becomes strong

•Very high energy E, net energy gain can be neglected

Radiation Amplitude for Single Scattering

Single scattering amplitude depends on the flow velocity along the jet direction

Numerical Result for Energy Gain via Gluon Absorption

• At large E region,

• Energy gain decrese with increasing flow velocity in the positive jet direction

• Very high energy E, energy gain can be neglected

IV. Summary and Discussion

Summary:

1) New potential for the interaction of a hard jet with the parton target has been derived, which can be used to study the jet quenching phenomena in the presence of collective flow of the QGP medium.

2) Collective flow along jet direction reduce the opacity, short the formation time of gluon radiation, increase gluon formation factor.

3) Collective flow has observable influence on the parton energy loss. For the flow velocity in the positive jet direction, jet energy loss decrease by 10-30%.

Discussion

1) Collective flow effects affect the suppression of high Pt spectrum in high-energy heavy ion collision.

2) Collective flow effects affect anisotropy parameter v2 in high-energy heavy ion collision.

3) Our new potential can be used for heavy quark energy loss calculation and will alter the dead cone effect of heavy quark jet.
