Journal ArticleEnergy loss of a fast moving parton in Gribov-Zwanziger plasmaDebnath, Manas; Ghosh, Ritesh; Jamal, Mohammad Yousuf; Kurian, Manu; Prakash, JaiThe Gribov-Zwanziger prescription applied within Yang-Mills theory is demonstrated to be an efficient method for refining the theory’s infrared dynamics. We study the collisional energy loss experienced by a high-energetic test parton as it traverses through the Grivov plasma at finite temperature. To achieve this, we employ a semiclassical approach that considers the parton’s energy loss while accounting for the backreaction induced by the polarization effects due to its motion in the medium. The polarization tensor of the medium is estimated within a nonperturbative resummation considering the Gribov-Zwanziger approach. The modification of the gluon and ghost loops due to the presence of the Gribov parameter plays a vital role in our estimation. We observe that the nonperturbative interactions have a sizable effect on the parton energy loss. Further, we discuss the implications of our findings in the context of relativistic heavy-ion collisions.American Physical Society2024-01-0110529711Physical Review D1091L0115032470-0010https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.109.L0115032209470Jets & heavy flavor physicsQuark-gluon plasmaRelativistic heavy-ion collisionsNational Science Foundation
