Description
Heavy quark energy loss in a strongly coupled $N=4SU(N_c)$ has been studied using AdS/CFT correspondence, which shows hydrodynamic excitations to be the primary modes. Similar results are lacking for strongly coupled QCD plasma due to absence of dual description. Motivated by the AdS/CFT result, we construct an effective field theory of heavy quark in a hydrodynamic medium which aims to provide a framework to understand energy loss for heavy quarks through collective modes in QGP.
