Here we review our previous holographic calculation of the energy loss in N=4 Super Yang-Mills and extend it to longitudinal vector mesons and scalar mesons. We also discuss phenomenological implications for heavy-ion collision experiments. Although the Cherenkov energy loss is an O(1/Nc) effect, a ballpark estimate yields a value of dE/dx for Nc=3 which is comparable to that of other mechanisms.47 p.application/pdfengcc by, (c) Casalderrey et al., 2010http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/HolografiaQuarksCamps de galga (Física)Cromodinàmica quànticaHolographyQuarksGauge fields (Physics)Quantum chromodynamicsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6207352014-07-28info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
