We study the propagation of heavy quarks (HQs) in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) by means of a event-by-event relativistic Boltzmann transport (RBT) approach. We discuss the correlations between light flavor and heavy quarks (HQs) flow harmonics and the relative fluctuations of anisotropic flows Moreover, we investigate the role of QCD interaction in developing these flows correlations. As recently recognized, strong electro-magnetic (E.M.) fields are created in Ultra-relativistic Heavy-Ion Collision (HIC). We show that these fields are responsible for a splitting of directed flow of D and anti-D mesons. Moreover, we discuss the effect of the initial large bulk vorticity on the build up of rapidity odd HQs directed flow.

Abstract
We study the propagation of heavy quarks (HQs) in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) by means of a event-by-event relativistic Boltzmann transport (RBT) approach. We discuss the correlations between light flavor and heavy quarks (HQs) flow harmonics and the relative fluctuations of anisotropic flows Moreover, we investigate the role of QCD interaction in developing these flows correlations. As recently recognized, strong electro-magnetic (E.M.) fields are created in Ultra-relativistic Heavy-Ion Collision (HIC). We show that these fields are responsible for a splitting of directed flow of D and anti-D mesons. Moreover, we discuss the effect of the initial large bulk vorticity on the build up of rapidity odd HQs directed flow.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
