The implementation of HQ resonance scattering along with a hadronization via quark coalescence under the conditions of the plasma created in heavy-ion collisions has been shown to correctly describe both the nuclear modification factor, RAA, and the elliptic flow, ν2, of single electrons at RHIC and have correctly predicted the RAA of D mesons at LHC energy.

Abstract
We assess transport properties of heavy quarks in the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) that show a strong non-perturbative behavior. A T-matrix approach based on a potential taken from lattice QCD hints at the presence of heavy-quark (HQ) resonant scattering with an increasing strength as the temperature, T, reaches the critical temperature, Tc ⋍ 170 MeV for deconfinement from above. The implementation of HQ resonance scattering along with a hadronization via quark coalescence under the conditions of the plasma created in heavy-ion collisions has been shown to correctly describe both the nuclear modification factor, RAA, and the elliptic flow, ν2, of single electrons at RHIC and have correctly predicted the RAA of D mesons at LHC energy.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
