Towards a qualitative hadron-parton correspondence in the nuclear modification factor

In this work, we propose a method to show the correspondence between hadron and its quark component nuclear modification factors. A parton and hadron cascade model PACIAE based on the PYTHIA6.4 is employed to calculate the hadron and its quark component nuclear modification factors in the 0-5% most central $Pb+Pb$ collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$=2.76 TeV. It turns out that the hadron nuclear modification factor is usually smaller than that of its quark component. On the other hand, it is shown in our study that the dead cone effect is more likely to be identified with the quarks and mesons but not with the baryon states obviously.
