Description
We compute the production spectra for high-momentum light quarks and gluons in high-energy hadron collisions at a variety of center-of-mass energies, some of which are previously unstudied. These spectra provide the foundation for making quantitative predictions of parton energy loss in high-multiplicity hadronic collisions at RHIC and the LHC. Thus these spectra are necessary in order to use high-momentum partonic probes as a femtoscope to quantitatively characterize the properties of the novel state of matter produced in high-multiplicity hadronic collisions, the quark-gluon plasma. We demonstrate the success of our methodology and implementation by reproducing previously known theoretical results; we then successfully compare our calculations with recent experimental data; finally, we make quantitative first predictions for the production spectra necessary for the future $O+O$ collisions at LHC in the second half of 2025.
