54. Measurement of $D^0$ Meson Production and Azimuthal Anisotropy in Au+Au Collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV in STAR

Since the charm-quark mass is larger than the thermal scales of the medium created in heavy-­ion collisions at RHIC energies, charm quarks are believed to be mainly produced through the initial hard scatterings. Therefore, they experience the entire evolution of the hot and dense medium. Charm quarks are also expected to thermalize slower with the medium than light flavor quarks, which is...

150. D meson v_n harmonics in PbPb collisions at 5.02 TeV with CMS

Because of their large mass, heavy quarks are produced primarily at early stages of heavy-ion collisions, and therefore experience the full evolution of the system and carry information about the extent of thermalization of the QGP. Azimuthal anisotropy parameters (v_n) of charm and bottom hadrons provide unique information about the path length dependent interactions between heavy quarks and...

37. Heavy vs. light hadron production and medium modification at RHIC and LHC

Hard hadrons, including heavy flavor and high $p_\mathrm{T}$ light flavor hadrons, are ideal probes of the transport properties of the QGP matter created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We have established a Linearized Boltzmann Transport (LBT) model coupled with hydrodynamical background to study the in-medium evolution of hard partons, in which both elastic and inelastic processes are...

143. Heavy flavor $R_{AA}$ and $v_n$ in event-by-event viscous relativistic hydrodynamics

Jorge Noronha (University of Sao Paulo)

Event-by-event fluctuations play a key role in resolving the long-standing $v_2$ to $R_{AA}$ puzzle for jets [1]. In this talk, the same general idea employed in [1] is used to investigate the event-by-event properties of $R_{AA}$ and $v_n$ of heavy flavor. Heavy quarks propagate and lose energy in the medium described by the 2D+1 viscous hydrodynamic code v-USPhydro [3] on an event-by-event...

40. Studies of the difference between light and heavy flavor energy loss by reconstructed jets

While the nuclear modification factor $R_{\rm AA}$ of charged hadrons measures jet quenching in terms of the suppression of single inclusive particle spectra, studies employing reconstructed jets additionally allow the investigation of medium modifications to the initial parton shower as a whole and thereby provide information about the angular dependence of jet quenching. Furthermore, due to...
