abstract
Thermalization and collective flow of charm (c) and bottom (b) quarks in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions are evaluated based on elastic parton rescattering in an expanding quark-gluon plasma (QGP). We show that resonant interactions in a strongly interacting QGP (sQGP), as well as the effects of parton coalescence, can play an essential role in the interpretation of recent data from the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC), and thus illuminate the nature of the sQGP and its hadronization. Our main assumption, motivated by recent findings in lattice computations of Quantum Chromodynamics, is the existence of D- and B-meson states in the sQGP, providing resonant cross sections for heavy quarks up to temperatures of sim 2 T_c. Pertinent drag and diffusion coefficients are implemented into a relativistic Langevin simulation to compute transverse-momentum spectra and azimuthal asymmetries (v_2) of b- and c-quarks in Au-Au collisions at RHIC. Hadronization into D- and B-mesons is calculated from a combination of coalescence with light quarks and fragmentation, and associated electron-decay spectra and v_2 are compared to recent RHIC data. We also comment on the relative importance of radiative and elastic energy loss of heavy quarks in the QGP.

Heavy-quark momentum transfer beyond leading logarithm in weak-coupling plasmas is non-Gaussian with asymmetric exponential tails, matching the structure seen in strongly coupled holographic plasmas.
Kolmogorov dynamics for heavy quarks in hot plasma shows significantly delayed large-momentum equilibration compared to Fokker-Planck with matched drag, due to rare low-momentum-loss events.
Derives gauge-invariant equations of motion for kinetic and canonical momentum of particles in a classical non-Abelian background, finding that transverse fields contribute to kinetic momentum broadening even in the eikonal limit, and shows that an initial transverse Coulomb gauge reduces numerical
In Cu+Au collisions, heavy-quark directed flow is an order of magnitude larger than charged-hadron flow and shows strong sensitivity to initial spatial distributions and temperature-dependent drag.
An expanding fire-cylinder model fitted to pion pT spectra describes spectra of other light hadrons and qualitatively matches their elliptic flow in peripheral Au+Au collisions at BES energies.
