The transport coefficient q^\hat{q} in an anisotropic plasma

preprint2009arXivOpen access

Abstract

We investigate the jet quenching parameter in the case of a fast moving quark in an anisotropic plasma. In the leading log approximation, strong indications are found that the transport coefficient increases with increasing anisotropy. Implications for the phenomenology at RHIC are discussed.
