Holographic study of the jet quenching parameter in anisotropic systems

Abstract

We first calculate the jet quenching parameter of an anisotropic plasma with a U(1) chemical potential via AdS/CFT duality. The effects of charge, anisotropy parameter, and quark motion direction on the jet quenching parameter are investigated. We then discuss the situation of an anisotropic black brane in the IR region. We study both the jet quenching parameters along the longitudinal direction and the transverse plane.
