Abstract
Recent observation of high-pT hadron spectra suppression and mono-jet production in central Au-Au collisions and Cu-Cu collisions at RHIC have confirmed the long predicted phenomenon of jet quenching in high-energy-ion collisions. Detailed analyses of the experimental data show parton energy loss as the mechanism for the discovered jet quenching. Preconception-free analyses of the inclusive invariant transverse-momentum distribution data taken from the measurements of Au-Au collisions at [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] have been performed. It is observed that the distribution exhibits for pT≥2 GeV/c remarkably good power-law behavior (pT-scaling) with general regularities. It may explain the data coming from the STAR or PHENIX to some extent. Using the power-law by a simple model, its underlying geometrical structure has to be understood in terms of fractal dimensions. A simple model is proposed which approximately reproduces the above-mentioned data for the phenomenon, and it affords a new way to research the QGP matter and jet quenching. Further heavy-ion collision experiments are suggested.
