\begin{document}$ R_{AA} $\end{document}) of leading particles quantifies parton energy loss in such collisions, with the particle spectrum in \begin{document}$ p+p $\end{document} collisions as a reference. Previous \begin{document}$ R_{AA} $\end{document} measurements at RHIC energies have revealed an approximately constant trend at high transverse momenta (\begin{document}$ p_{T} $\end{document}), implying a scenario where parton energy loss, \begin{document}$ \Delta p_{T} $\end{document}, scales proportionally with \begin{document}$ p_{T} $\end{document}, a feature naively expected from energy loss dynamics in elastic collisions. In this study, we investigate the LHC \begin{document}$ R_{AA} $\end{document} measurements that exhibit a pronounced \begin{document}$ p_{T} $\end{document} dependence of \begin{document}$ R_{AA} $\end{document} for various particle species, and our analysis attributes this behavior to \begin{document}$ \Delta p_T $\end{document} being approximately proportional to \begin{document}$ \sqrt{p_{T}} $\end{document}. These distinct features are consistent with model calculations of dominant radiative energy loss dynamics at LHC, in contrast to the dominance of collisional energy loss at RHIC. Additionally, the linear increase of the fractional energy loss with medium density at different \begin{document}$ p_{T} $\end{document} magnitudes affirms our previous empirical observation that the magnitude of the energy loss depends more strongly on the initial entropy density than the parton's path length through the medium. Implications on the dynamical scenarios of parton energy loss and future experimental investigations are also discussed."> Contrasting features of parton energy loss in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC -
