摘要

A general expression for the dead cone of gluons radiated by virtual partons has been derived. The conventional dead cone for massive on-shell quarks and the dead cone for the virtual partons have been obtained by using different limits of the general expression. Radiative suppression due to the virtuality of initial parton jets in heavy-ion collisions has been discussed. It is observed that the suppression caused by the high virtuality is overwhelmingly large as compared to that on account of conventional dead cone of heavy quarks.
