Description
A new shooting string holographic model of jet quenching of light quarks in strongly coupled plasmas is presented [1,2] to overcome the serious inadequacies of previous falling string holographic scenarios especially at LHC. We will apply this framework to compute the nuclear modification factor RAA and the elliptic flow v2 and show that this model improves greatly the comparison with recent RHIC and LHC light hadron suppression data. We examine the effects of the Gauss-Bonnet quadratic curvature corrections to the AdS geometry and non-conformal dilaton deformations. Effects of fluctuations and first applications of this framework to heavy quarks will also be presented.
