Description

We will present our newly developed DREENA framework [1], which allows predicting energy loss of high $p_{\perp}$ partons traversing quark gluon plasma (QGP). DREENA framework is based on state-of-the-art dynamical energy loss formalism, which takes into account finite size medium composed of dynamical (that is moving) constituents. In DREENA-B, this formalism is applied to 1+1D Bjorken medium expansion. Joint $R_{AA}$ and $v_2$ predictions are generated for both light and heavy probes, and for all centrality regions in both $Pb+Pb$ and $Xe+Xe$, collisions at the LHC. DREENA-B framework leads to a good agreement with both $R_{AA}$ and $v_2$ experimental data, which is a major step towards introducing complex medium evolution into DREENA framework. Examining influence of different initial conditions (stages) of QGP evolution on joint $R_{AA}$ and $v_2$ predictions with DREENA framework, will also be discussed.
