Abstract:We calculate the radiation spectrum off a qq pair of a fixed opening angle θ qq traversing a medium of length L. Multiple interactions with the medium are handled in the harmonic oscillator approximation, valid for soft gluon emissions. We discuss the time-scales relevant to the decoherence of correlated partons traversing the medium and demonstrate how this relates to the hard scale that govern medium-induced radiation. For large angle radiation, the hard scale is given by Q hard = max r −1 ⊥ , Q s , where r ⊥ = θ qq L is the probed transverse size and Q s is the maximal transverse momentum accumulated by the emitted gluon in the medium. These situations define in turn two distinct regimes, which we call "dipole" and "decoherence" regimes, respectively, which are discussed in detail. A feature common to both cases is that coherence of the radiation is restored at large transverse momenta, k ⊥ > Q hard .

Radiative interferences in the multi-parton shower is the building block of QCD jet physics in vacuum. The presence of a hot medium made of quarks and gluons is expected to alter this interference pattern. To study these effects, we derive the gluon emission spectrum off a color-correlated quark-antiquark pair (antenna) traversing a colored medium to first order in the medium density. The resulting induced gluon distribution is found to be governed by the hardest scale of the problem. In our setup, this can either be the inverse antenna transverse size, r −1 ⊥ , or the scale related to the transverse color correlation length in the medium, which is given by the Debye mass m D . This emerging scale opens the angular phase space of emissions off the antenna compared to the vacuum case and gives rise to a typical transverse momentum of the medium-induced emitted gluons, k 2 ⊥ med ∼ max(r. Above the hard scale interference effects suppress the spectrum resulting in the restoration of vacuum coherence.

“…On the theoretical side, progress in the last few years has been reached in different fronts, as improvements in the splitting probability [14,15], the use of effective theories as SCET [16][17][18], or the study of multi-parton radiation [17]. A systematic program to understand the in-medium intrajet color coherence effects, using the antenna setup, has also been started, leading to extremely valuable information about the role of interferences [24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. A clear new picture of the jet quenching phenomena is emerging from these studies [31,32].…”

We compute the color coherence effects for soft gluon radiation off antennas containing heavy quarks in the presence of a QCD medium -the actual calculations is made for a triplet configuration and then generalize to both color singlet and octet ones. This work completes the studies of antenna radiation inside a medium which provide a useful picture of the relevance of interference effects in jet parton showers for the jet quenching phenomenon observed in high-energy nuclear collisions. The analysis is performed resumming the multiple scatterings of the partonic system with the medium. The main conclusion is that decorrelation due to color rotation is more effective in the case in which at least one of the emitters of the antenna is a heavy quark. This effect, present both for a heavy-quark-antiquark or a heavy-quark-gluon antenna is more relevant for the later or for the case in which the energies of the quark and antiquark are very different. The parameter controlling these effects involves the deadcone angle. We find that interferences are cancelled, spoiling the color correlation of the pair, whenωL where E and ω are the energies of the heavy quark and the radiated gluon and L is the medium length. In the case of a heavy-quark-antiquark antenna t form , defined as the difference in splitting times in amplitude and complex conjugate of the amplitude, appears instead of L if the original splitting is symmetric. The presence or absence of interferences modifies the energy loss pattern.
