Abstract

Special features of particle and jet production in hard QCD processes induced by ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions are investigated. The energy loss of partons produced in hard collisions that is due to their multiple scattering in dense quark-gluon matter is analyzed as a function of the impact parameter of a nucleus-nucleus collision. The possibility of experimentally observing effects that are expected in this connection and which include different impact-parameter dependences of radiative and collision hard-jet energy losses, a modification to the shape of the impact-parameter distribution of dijets, and the suppression of the yield of muon pairs having large invariant masses is discussed.
