Following a recent proposal, we employ the AdS/CFT correspondence to computethe jet quenching parameter for N=4 Yang-Mills theory at nonzero R-chargedensities. Using as dual supergravity backgrounds non-extremal rotating branes,we find that the presence of the R-charges generically enhances the jetquenching phenomenon. However, at fixed temperature, this enhancement might ormight not be a monotonically increasing function of the R-charge density anddepends on the number of independent angular momenta describing the solution.We perform our analysis for the canonical as well as for the grand canonicalensemble which give qualitatively similar results.Comment: 18 pages, 2 figures; v3: clarifying comments added, references added, version to appear in JHE
