Rapidity-dependent jet energy loss in small systems with finite-size effects and running coupling

Understand

Longitudinal dynamics of particle production and rapidity-dependent jet energy loss are investigated in small and asymmetric colliding systems.

• We utilize an improved version of \textsc{martini} in which two improvements are implemented to calculate the effect of the strongly coupled QGP droplet on jet energy loss.
• We show that those realistic prescriptions improve the results of nuclear modification factor calculations.
• We also observe visible energy loss of jets in a thermal background of high-multiplicity p-Pb collisions, and a clear correlation between the energy loss and elliptic flow coefficients for energetic particles.
