Onset of color decoherence for soft gluon radiation in a medium

Mehtar-Tani, Y. ; Salgado, C. A. and Tywoniuk, Konrad LU (2011) In Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics 38(12).
Abstract
We report on recent studies of the phenomenon of color decoherence in jets in QCD media. The effect is most clearly observed in the radiation pattern of a quark-antiquark antenna, created in the same quantum state, traversing a dense color deconfined plasma. Multiple scattering with the medium color charges gradually destroys the coherence of the antenna. In the limit of opaque media, this ultimately leads to independent radiation off the antenna constituents. Accordingly, radiation off the total charge vanishes implying a memory loss effect induced by the medium.
