Heavy flavor research is a vigorous and active topic in high-energy QCD physics. Comparing theoretical predictions to data as a function of flavor provides a unique opportunity to tease out properties of quark-gluon plasma. We explicitly demonstrate this utility with energy loss predictions based on the assumption of 1) a weakly-coupled plasma weakly coupled to a high-pT probe using pQCD and 2) a strongly-coupled plasma strongly coupled to a high-pT probe using AdS/CFT; we find that while the former enjoys broad qualitative agreement with data, it is difficult to reconcile the latter with experimental measurements.

  1. Energy loss and theoretical uncertainties in small quark-gluon plasmas

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A pQCD energy loss model with short-pathlength corrections shows the large formation time approximation fails self-consistently and, after a one-parameter fit, describes RHIC small systems while failing LHC small systems.

  2. A unified description of small, peripheral, and large system suppression data from pQCD

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A large-system-constrained energy-loss model predicts equal high-pT suppression in central small systems and peripheral large systems, consistent with PHENIX d+Au data but not with the ATLAS p+Pb enhancement.
