A parton produced with a high transverse momentum in a hard collision is regenerating its color field, intensively radiating gluons and losing energy. This process cannot last long, if it ends up with production of a leading hadron carrying the main fraction z_h of the initial parton momentum. So energy conservation imposes severe constraints on the length scale of production of a single hadron with high pT. As a result, the main reason for hadron quenching observed in heavy ion collisions, is not energy loss, but attenuation of the produced colorless dipole in the created dense medium. The latter mechanism, calculated with the path-integral method, explains well the observed suppression of light hadrons and the elliptic flow in a wide range of energies, from the lowest energy of RHIC up to LHC, and in a wide range of transverse momenta. The values of the transport coefficient extracted from data range within 1-2 GeV^2/fm, dependent on energy, and agree well with the theoretical expectations.

Hadrons inclusively produced with large pT in high-energy collisions originate from the jets, whose initial virtuality and energy are of the same order, what leads to an extremely intensive gluon radiation and dissipation of energy at the early stage of hadronization. Besides, these jets have a peculiar structure: the main fraction of the jet energy is carried by a single leading hadron, so such jets are very rare. The constraints imposed by energy conservation enforce an early color neutralization and a cease of gluon radiation. The produced colorless dipole does not dissipate energy anymore and is evolving to form the hadron wave function. The small and medium pT region is dominated by the hydrodynamic mechanisms of hadron production from the created hot medium. The abrupt transition between the hydrodynamic and perturbative QCD mechanisms causes distinct minima in the pT dependence of the suppression factor R_{AA} and of the azimuthal asymmetry v2. Combination of these mechanisms allows to describe the data through the full range of pT at different collision energies and centralities.
In the context of the `jet quenching phenomena typically materialization of the jet is assumed to take place in vacuum outside the reaction zone. On the other hand quantum mechanical estimates give a hadronization time on the order of only a few fm/c for jets materializing into hadrons with transverse momenta of $pT{} leq 10 GeV$, which thus should well take place inside the fireball. Typical (in-)elastic collisions of these high $pT{}$ particles with the bulk of hadrons of the fireball have a rather low invariant mass and are thus nonperturbative. An analysis within an opacity expansion in the number of collisions by means of the FRITIOF collision scheme for various hadrons will be presented. It shows that late hadronic collisions can substantially account for the modification of the high $pT{} $-spectrum observed for central collisions at RHIC.
We provide the complete decomposition of the local gauge-invariant energy-momentum tensor for spin-1 hadrons, including non-conserved terms for the individual parton flavors and antisymmetric contributions originating from intrinsic spin. We state sum rules for the gravitational form factors appearing in this decomposition and provide relations for the mass decomposition, work balance, total and orbital angular momentum, mass radius, and inertia tensor. Generalizing earlier work, we derive relations between the total and orbital angular momentum and the Mellin moments of twist-2 and 3 generalized parton distributions, accessible in hard exclusive processes with spin-1 targets. Throughout the work, we comment on the unique features in these relations originating from the spin-1 nature of the hadron, being absent in the lower spin cases.
In this work, I calculate the $p_perp$ resolved spectra for the three stages of the textit{bottom-up} scenario, which are comparable to the thermal contribution, particularly at higher values of the saturation scale $Q_S^2$. Analytical solutions are obtained by including a parametrization of scaling solutions from far-from-equilibrium classical statistical lattice simulations into a small angle kinetic rate. Furthermore, a theoretically motivated ansatz is used to account for near-collinear enhancement of the low-$p_perp$ radiation. The system is phenomenologically constrained using the charge hadron multiplicities from LHC and RHIC as in previous parametric estimates and fair agreement with the data available for photons was found. I find that for this realistic set of parameters, the contribution from the thermalizing glasma dominates the excess photons.
Jet energy loss in heavy ion collisions, as quantified by the traditional observable of high $p_T$ hadrons nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$, provides highly informative imaging of the hot medium created in heavy ion collisions. There are now comprehensive sets of available data, from average suppression to azimuthal anisotropy, from light to heavy flavors, from RHIC 200GeV to LHC 2.76TeV as well as 5.02TeV collisions. A unified description of such comprehensive data presents a stringent vetting of any viable model for jet quenching phenomenology. In this contribution we report such a systematic and successful test of CUJET3, a jet energy loss simulation framework built upon a nonperturbative microscopic model for the hot medium as a semi-quark-gluon-monopole plasma (sQGMP) which integrates two essential elements of confinement, i.e. the Polyakov-loop suppression of quarks/gluons and emergent magnetic monopoles.
