Scientific paper

An improved generalized suppression factor for gluon emission off a heavy quark is derived within perturbative QCD, which is valid for the full range of rapidity of the radiated gluon and also has no restriction on the scaled mass of the quark with its energy. In the appropriate limit it correctly reproduces the usual dead cone factor in the forward rapidity region. On the other hand, this improved suppression factor becomes close to unity in the backward direction. This indicates a small suppression of gluon emission in the backward region, which should have an impact on the phenomenology of heavy quark energy loss in the hot and dense matter produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
