Description
We evaluate the drag and diffusion coefficients of a hot hadronic medium consisting of pions,
nucleons, kaons and eta using open charm mesons as a probe. The interaction of the probe with
the hadronic matter has been treated in the framework of effective field theory. It is observed that
the magnitude of both the transport coefficients are significant, indicating substantial amount of
interaction of the heavy mesons with the thermal hadronic system. The results may have noticeable
impact on the experimental observable like the suppression of single electron spectra originating
form the decays of heavy mesons in nuclear collisions at relativistic energies.
