Heavy flavor suppression in a dynamical QCD medium with finite magnetic mass

Description

Reliable predictions for jet quenching in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions require accurate computation of radiative energy loss. While all available energy loss calculations assume zero magnetic mass, in accordance with the one-loop perturbative calculations, different non-perturbative approaches report a non-zero magnetic mass at RHIC and LHC. We generalized the dynamical energy loss formalism, to consistently include a possibility for existence of non-zero magnetic screening. We show that this generalization indicates a fundamental constraint on electric to magnetic mass ratio, which appears to be supported by lattice QCD simulations. Jet suppression patterns, obtained from this newly developed generalization, show reasonable agreement with the available RHIC and LHC measurements
