We demonstrate that this takes place in all strongly coupled, large-Nc plasmas with a gravity dual. The energy loss is exactly calculable in these models despite being an O(1/Nc)-effect. We discuss phenomenological implications for heavy-ion collision experiments.4 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Physical Society, 2010QuarksCamps de galga (Física)Partícules (Física nuclear)QuarksGauge fields (Physics)Particles (Nuclear physics)info:eu-repo/semantics/article6207332013-03-08info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
