Jet quenching in pp and pA collisions
Abstract
We study jet quenching in pp and pA collisions in the scenario with formation of a mini quark-gluon plasma. We find a significant suppression effect. For light hadrons at pT ∼ 10 GeV we obtained the reduction of the spectra by ∼[20-30, 25-35, 30-40]% in pp collisions at √{s }=[0.2 ,2.76 ,7 ] TeV. We discuss how jet quenching in pp collisions may change the predictions for the nuclear modification factors in AA collisions for light and heavy flavors. We also give predictions for modification of the photon-tagged and inclusive jet fragmentation functions in high multiplicity pp events.
