Absence of jet quenching in peripheral nucleus–nucleus collisions

Medium effects on the production of high-pT particles in nucleus–nucleus (AA) collisions are generally quantified by the nuclear modification factor (RAA), defined to be unity in absence of nuclear effects. Modeling particle production including a nucleon–nucleon impact parameter dependence, we demo...
