abstract

We calculate the fully differential medium-induced radiative spectrum at next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy within the Improved Opacity Expansion (IOE) framework. This scheme allows us to gain analytical control of the radiative spectrum at low and high gluon frequencies simultaneously. The high frequency regime can be obtained in the standard opacity expansion framework in which the resulting power series diverges at the characteristic frequency $\omega_c\sim \hat q L^2$. In the IOE, all orders in opacity are resumed systematically below $\omega_c$ yielding an asymptotic series controlled by logarithmically suppressed remainders down to the thermal scale $T \ll \omega_c$, while matching the opacity expansion at high frequency. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the IOE at NLO accuracy reproduces the characteristic Coulomb tail of the single hard scattering contribution as well as the Gaussian distribution resulting from multiple soft momentum exchanges. Finally, we compare our analytic scheme with a recent numerical solution, that includes a full resummation of multiple scatterings, for LHC-inspired medium parameters. We find a very good agreement both at low and high frequencies showcasing the performance of the IOE which provides for the first time accurate analytic formulas for radiative energy loss in the relevant perturbative kinematic regimes for dense media.

  1. Revisiting extremely high energy QED bremsstrahlung in matter: large modifications to the LPM effect

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Pair production overlapping soft bremsstrahlung enhances the in-medium radiation rate above the standard LPM value, opposite to the 1964 prediction of Galitsky and Gurevich.

  2. Gluon radiation from a QCD antenna with realistic parton-medium interactions

    hep-ph 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The in-medium antenna gluon spectrum is obtained by numerical solution of Dyson-type equations that fully resum multiple scatterings for Yukawa and HTL rates, without harmonic-oscillator or opacity truncations.

  3. Quantum simulating multi-particle processes in high energy nuclear physics: dijet production and color (de)coherence

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A quantum-circuit framework maps partonic cross-sections for multi-particle QCD processes in media, benchmarked on dipole formation and antenna radiation at leading order.

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Medium-induced gluon radiation computed with kinetic-theory backgrounds shows a persistent, non-vanishing imprint of the pre-equilibrium stage on jet spectra, so jet observables can probe early-time dynamics in heavy-...
