I. Introduction Hard Probe Signal of QGP in RHIC and LHC Jet quenching: Induced by multiple scattering in QGP medium, a parton jet will radiate gluon and lose its energy.

3 Jet quenching in 2→2 processes LO analysis of jet quenching in AA: 2→2 processes (tree level) A factor K=1.5-2 was put by hand to account for higher order corrections Han-Zhong Zhang IOPPQM 2006 Shanghai

4 Jet quenching in 2→3 processes Motivation : 1) contribution for higher order correction? 2) find a robust probe of dense matter 2→3 processes (tree level) NLO (Next to Leading Order ) corrections: One-loop corrections (Jeff. Owens, PRD65(2002)034011; B.W. Harris and J. Owens, PRD65(2002)094032) K is absent Han-Zhong Zhang IOPPQM 2006 Shanghai

Jet Quenching effects lead to the modification of FF Modified Fragmentation Function (FF) 5 KKP (X. -N. Wang, PRC70(2004)031901) and the averaged scattering number, where It determines the thickness of the outer corona where a parton jet survives in the overlapped region.

In 1-demension expanding medium, the total energy loss: The energy loss with detailed balance: (Enke Wang and Xin-Nian Wang, PRL87(2001)142301) 6 An energy loss parameter proportional to the initial gluon density Han-Zhong Zhang IOPPQM 2006 Shanghai

III. Conclusions 19 Because of the additional 2→3 processes, NLO contributions behave with stronger quenching effect than LO contributions: Because of the stronger quenching effects, the single hadron is dominated by surface emission; the dihadron is from surface emission + punch-through jets. The dihadron is more sensitive to the initial gluon density than the single hadron. When becomes fragile in higher energy AA, is a robust probe of dense matter. Without inputing K factor by hand, NLO results fit data well. 1) 2) 3) Han-Zhong Zhang IOPPQM 2006 Shanghai
