abstract
Models of medium-induced radiative parton energy loss account for the strong suppression of high-pT hadron spectra in $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV Au-Au collisions at RHIC in terms of a single "jet quenching parameter'' $\hat q$. The available suite of jet quenching measurements make $\hat q$ one of the experimentally best constrained properties of the hot fluid produced in RHIC collisions. We observe that $\hat q$ can be given a model-independent, nonperturbative, quantum field theoretic definition in terms of the short-distance behavior of a particular light-like Wilson loop. We then use the AdS/CFT correspondence to obtain a strong-coupling calculation of $\hat q$ in hot N=4 supersymmetric QCD, finding $\hat{q}_{SYM} = 26.69 \sqrt{\alpha_{SYM} N_c} T^3$ in the limit in which both $N_c$ and $4\pi\alpha_{SYM} N_c$ are large. We thus learn that at strong coupling $\hat q$ is not proportional to the entropy density $s$, or to some "number density of scatterers'' since, unlike the number of degrees of freedom, $\hat q$ does not grow like $N_c^2$.

First simultaneous Bayesian extraction of 2πT D_s and q-hat/T^3 from D-meson R_AA and v2 at 5.02 TeV, yielding a non-monotonic temperature dependence in their ratio that deviates from the expected value of 2.
The jet broadening tensor qhat^ij in near-equilibrium QCD is controlled by the medium shear-stress tensor within the 14-moment approximation.
Exact and perturbative drag forces are derived for heavy quarks in holographic plasmas dual to charged rotating 5D black holes, with regularity conditions fixing integration constants and yielding finite anisotropic corrections.
Minijet thermalization time in a thermal gluon plasma scales with the jet quenching parameter q-hat once recoiling medium contributions are added to standard transport coefficient definitions.
Holographic calculation in a spinning Myers-Perry black brane shows that higher temperature or rotation parameter a shortens light-quark stopping distance and increases instantaneous energy loss, with stronger anisotropy for transverse motion.
