Parton energy loss in the mini quark-gluon plasma and jet quenching in proton-proton collisions
Abstract
We evaluate the medium suppression of light hadron spectra in pp collisions at RHIC and LHC energies in the scenario with formation of a mini quark-gluon plasma. We find a significant suppression effect. For pT ∼10 GeV we obtained the reduction of the spectra by ∼[20-30, 25-35, 30-40]% at \sqrt{s}=[0.2, 2.76,7] TeV. We also discuss how this phenomenon may change the predictions for the nuclear modification factors for AA and pA collisions.
