Jet quenching from RHIC to LHC

Understand

We perform a joint analysis of the data from PHENIX at RHIC and ALICE at LHC on the nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$.

• The computations are performed within the light-cone path integral approach to induced gluon emission.
• Our results show that slow variation of $R_{AA}$ from RHIC to LHC energies indicates that the QCD coupling constant is suppressed in the quark-gluon plasma produced at LHC.
