Nuclear Modification Factor and Elliptic Flow of Muons from Heavy-Flavour Hadron Decays in Pb–Pb Collisions at √ sNN = 2.76 TeV with ALICE X. Zhang for the ALICE Collaboration Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, U. S. A. The LHC heavy-ion physics program aims at investigating the properties of strongly-interacting matter in extreme conditions of temperature and energy...

109. Heavy Quark Energy Loss and Bulk Physics

Talk

Bulk matter phenomena in heavy ion collisions is characterized by an extremely small viscosity to entropy ratio best understood by strong coupling dynamics described by the AdS/CFT correspondence. We test a consistent description of QGP physics by applying this AdS/CFT paradigm to the energy loss of heavy quarks. Previously we found consistency with the non-photonic electron data at RHIC but...

The observation of strong jet quenching and the suppression of high-$p_t$ hadrons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions are striking experimental signatures for the formation of a deconfined QCD plasma in which partons suffer from in-medium energy loss. In particular, heavy quarks are considered as suitable probes for revealing the properties of the produced matter as they are created at very...

28. Heavy Flavour Suppression: Boltzmann vs Langevin

Talk

The propagation of heavy flavour through the quark gluon plasma has been treated commonly within the framework of Langevin dynamics, i.e. assuming the heavy flavour momentum transfer is much smaller than the light one. On the other hand a similar suppression factor R_AA has been observed experimentally for light and heavy flavor. We present a thorough study of the thermalization dynamics and...

31. Shear viscosity of a multi-component hadronic system

Shear viscosity $\eta$ and entropy density $s$ of a hadronic resonance gas are calculated consistently within the Chapman-Enskog approximation using the $K$-matrix parameterization of hadronic cross sections which preserves the unitarity of the $T$-matrix. In the $\pi-K-N-\eta$ mixture considered, a total of 82 resonances up to 2 GeV were included. Comparisons are also made to results with...
