abstract

We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to determine the rate of energy loss of a heavy quark moving through N=4 SU(N_c) supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma at large 't Hooft coupling. Using the dual description of the quark as a classical string ending on a D7-brane, we use a complementary combination of analytic and numerical techniques to determine the friction coefficient as a function of quark mass. Provided strongly coupled N=4 Yang-Mills plasma is a good model for hot, strongly coupled QCD, our results may be relevant for charm and bottom physics at RHIC.

Heavy Quark Transport is Non-Gaussian Beyond Leading Log

hep-ph · 2026-04-23 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

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.
