Intensity of gluon bremsstrahlung in a finite plasma

Understand

The intensity of single gluon bremsstrahlung in a QCD plasma is evaluated with a Monte Carlo which solves the transport equation for a generic interaction with the medium.

• In particular the calculation is performed for a Debye screened potential and compared to the well known Gaussian/Fokker-Planck results.
• The full calculation including the first and last gluons show a qualitatively different behavior from the BDMPS result for any finite medium length.
• It is shown that the emission intensity is underestimated for the Gaussian approximation, compared to the Debye screened potential.
