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 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...

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...
