Description
We present new solutions for holographic falling string models of light quark jet energy loss that suggest a linear path dependence of energy loss, dE/dx ~ x^1, without the nonlinear x^2 dependence assumed previously. This effect, combined with non-conformal deformations and higher curvature corrections of AdS geometry, is shown to be able to account for the small relative reduction of the jet-medium coupling observed via RAA(pT) at LHC in the 20-50 GeV pT region.
