Angular dependence of the radiative gluon spectrum - art. no. 057902

The induced momentum spectrum of soft gluons radiated from a high energy qu ark produced in and propagating through a QCD medium is reexamined in the B DMPS formalism. A mistake in our published work [Phys. Rev. C 60, 064902 (1 999)] is corrected. The correct dependence of the fractional induced loss R (theta (cone)) as a universal function of the variable theta L-2(cone)3(q) over cap, where L is the size of the medium and (q) over cap the transport coefficient is presented. We add the proof that the radiated gluon momentum spectrum derived in our formalism is equivalent with the one derived in th e Zakharov-Wiedemann approach.
