High p_T spectra and anisotropy of light and heavy hadrons

Summary, in English

Data driven studies of heavy-ion results has played a big role in highlighting interesting features of these complex systems. In this proceeding, a simple QGP-brick interpretation of the R_AA and v₂ at high p_T (p_T≈10 GeV/c) is presented. This interpretation draws attention to two fundamental questions: is there an effect of the asymmetric QGP expansion on the v₂ at high p_T? is there an energy loss difference between quarks and gluons? Finally, it is discussed how these studies can be extended using Event-Shape Engineering and how they can be applied to compare the energy loss of light and heavy quarks.
