Title:
The sQGP as semi-quark-gluon & monopole plasma (sQGMP)

Speaker:
Jiechen Xu

Abstract:
In relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC, it has been a long-standing puzzle for all pQCD based jet energy loss models to simultaneously explain data on the high $p_T$ nuclear modification factor and azimuthal asymmetry of light hadrons/open heavy flavors. In this talk, I will present a new jet quenching framework, CUJET3.0, where three novel features of nonperturbative physics origin are integrated in the pQCD opacity expansion theory: (1) the Polyakov loop suppression of color-electric scatterings (a.k.a. "semi-QGP" of Pisarski et al.) and (2) the enhancement of jet scattering due to emergent chromomagnetic monopoles near $T_c$ (a.k.a. "magnetic scenario" of Liao and Shuryak) and (3) thermodynamic properties constrained by lattice QCD data. CUJET3.0 reduces
