Effect of magnetic field on jet transport coefficient q^‸ for quark and gluon jets

Jets, produced from hard scattered partons in high energy hadronic and heavy ion collisions, lose their energy via elastic and in-elastic interactions with the partons of the quark gluon plasma (QGP) formed in nucleus-nucleus collisions. This phenomena is known as jet quenching. In the heavy ion physics community, its measurement is well practiced through a quantity called jet transport coefficient q^‸, which is defined by the mean square of the momentum transfer between the propagating hard jet and the soft medium per unit path length. We present the effect of magnetic field on q^‸ using a simplified quasi-particle model introducing a temperature and magnetic field dependent degeneracy factor of partons, g(T,B)
