We suggest that the energy/momentum loss by quenched QCD jets created in heavy ion collisions at RHIC propagates as a collective excitation or “conical flow” of the produced matter. We solve the linearized relativistic hydrodynamic equations to detail the flow picture. We argue that for RHIC collisions the direction of this flow should form a cone at a specific large angle with the jet of about 70°, and thus lead to peaks in particle correlations at the angle Δ ϕ = π ± 1.2 rad relative to the large-pt trigger.

A hybrid strong/weak coupling approach to jet quenching (2014, background): “The hydrodynamic excitations are, in turn, dissipated as heat after a damping time 3Ts/(4q2η) (for sound waves) or Ts/(q2η) (for diffusive modes) [47].”

Gauge/String Duality, Hot QCD and Heavy Ion Collisions (2011, background): “4, it turns out that the diffusion wake contains enough momentum flux along the direction of the energetic particle to “fill in” the center of the Mach cone, meaning that the Mach cone is not sufficiently prominent as to result in peaks in the particle distribution at ∆φ = π ± ΘM [138, 518].”
