Jet Quenching Parameter with Hyperscaling Violation

Abstract

In this paper we study the behavior of jet quenching parameter in the background metric with hyperscaling violation at finite temperature.The background metric is covariant under a generalized Lifshitz scaling symmetry with the dynamical exponent z and hyperscaling exponent $\theta$. We evaluate the jet quenching parameter for certain range of these parameters consistent with the Gubser bound conditions in terms of T, z and $\theta$. We compare our results with those from conformal case and experimental data. Then we add a constant electric field to this background and find its effect on the jet quenching parameter.
