Scientists Reveal How Certain Jets of Particles Lose Energy in the Quark-Gluon Plasma

Scientists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have revealed how certain particle-jets lose energy as they traverse the unique form of nuclear matter created in these collisions. The results, published in Physical Review C, should help them learn about key "transport properties" of this hot particle soup, known as a quark-gluon plasma (QGP).
