Seminar of Hadron Physics

B.G. Zakharov (Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics, RAS) “Radiative energy loss and Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect in QED and QCD” Abstract In the first part of the talk I discuss the basic aspects of the light-cone path integral (LCPI) approach to the radiative energy loss and LPM effect in QED and QCD. I will show the comparison of the theoretical predictions with the SLAC and CERN SPS data on the LPM effect in photon bremsstrahlung from high energy electrons. In the second part of the talk I will discuss application of the LCPI method to the induced gluon emission in a hot quark-gluon plasma and to the jet quenching phenomenon in AA-collisions at RHIC-LHC energies.
