Drag Force on Heavy Quarks and Spatial String Tension
read the original abstract
Heavy quark transport coefficients in a strongly coupled Quark-Gluon Plasma can be evaluated using a gauge/string duality and lattice QCD. Via this duality, one can argue that for low momenta the drag coefficient for heavy quarks is proportional to the spatial string tension. Such a tension is well studied on the lattice that allows one to straightforwardly make non-perturbative estimates of the heavy quark diffusion coefficients near the critical point. The obtained results are consistent with those in the literature.

Anisotropic drag force in finite-density QGP from charged rotating 5D black holes
The drag force on a heavy quark in a rotating finite-density holographic plasma is purely tangential and anisotropic, with worldsheet regularity fixing the renormalised transverse force and selecting a co-rotating equ...

Bayesian Inference of Heavy-Quark Dissipation and Jet Transport Parameters from D-Meson observables in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC energies
First simultaneous Bayesian extraction of 2πT D_s and q-hat/T^3 from D-meson R_AA and v2 at 5.02 TeV, yielding a non-monotonic temperature dependence in their ratio that deviates from the expected value of 2.
