Description
The two major competing paradigms for jet-medium interactions at RHIC and LHC
are perturbative pQCD and higher dimensional holographic hQCD.
I discuss why current RHIC data favor hQCD holography to pQCD tomography by a score of 2-to-1 as of today. hQCD does a remarkable robust job correlating bulk flow and heavy quark quenching observables while pQCD does a better job describing light quark tomography. Possible implications for the LHC jet-medium studies expected to start this November at CERN are discussed. Speculations about possible heavy baryon tomography are considered that could have relevance to future FAIR experiments.
