The induced gluon radiation of a high-energy quark in a finite-size QCD medium is studied. For a sufficiently energetic quark produced inside a medium we find the radiative energy loss ΔEq∝L2, whereLis the distance traveled by quark in the medium. It has a weak dependence on the initial quark energyEq. TheL2dependence turns toL1as the quark energy decreases. Numerical calculations are performed for a cold nuclear matter and a hot quark-gluon plasma. For a quark incident on a nucleus we predict ΔEq≈0.1Eq(L/10fm)β, withβclose to unity.
