Quenching of light hadrons at RHIC in a collisional energy loss scenario
Abstract
We evaluate the nuclear suppression factor, RAA(pT) for light hadrons by taking into account the collisional energy loss. Within the ambit of the present model we show that in the measured pT domain of RHIC the contribution from the elastic process has a sizable magnitude.
