Description

Within a multiphase transport model with a string-melting scenario, the jet transport parameter q^ is extracted in Au+Au collisions at sNN= 200 GeV and Pb+Pb collisions at sNN= 2.76 TeV. The jet transport parameter q^ is a key parameter in jet-quenching phenomena, which depends not only on the temperature of the QCD medium but also on jet energy. We observe that q^ increases with increasing of the jet energy for both the partonic phase and the hadronic phase. The energy and path length dependences of q^ in full heavy-ion evolution are consistent with the expectations of jet quenching. The correlation between jet transport parameter q^ and dijet transverse momentum asymmetry AJ is investigated. It is interesting to find that dijets with larger AJ have larger length-averaged q^ values. Our study suggests that dijets with different AJ values can provide versatile tools for studying jet quenching and extracting jet transport parameters.
