Evaluating the energy loss of an electrically (color) charged particle crossing a high-temperature QED (QCD) plasma at its thermal equilibrium is studied. The average energy loss depends on the particle characteristics, plasma parameters, and QED (QCD) coupling constant α (αs). All processes through which the energy of a particle changes can be categorized into two main mechanisms: elastic collisions and radiation through bremsstrahlung. We have introduced the final results of collisional and radiation energy loss for an electrically charged particle in a QED plasma, as well as a quark in a QCD plasma. The suppression due to radiation is presented using the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect
