Memory effects on energy loss and diffusion of heavy quarks in the quark-gluon plasma
read the original abstract
We study the dynamics of heavy quarks in a thermalized quark-gluon plasma with a time-correlated thermal noise, $\eta$. In this case it is said that $\eta$ has memory. We use an integro-differential Langevin equation in which the memory enters via the thermal noise and the dissipative force. We assume that the time correlations of the noise decay exponentially on a time scale, $\tau$, that we treat as a free parameter. We compute the effects of $\tau\neq 0$ on the thermalization time of the heavy quarks, on their momentum broadening and on the nuclear modification factor. We find that overall memory slows down the momentum evolution of heavy quarks: in fact, transverse momentum broadening and the formation of $R_{AA}$ are slowed down by memory and the thermalization time of the heavy quarks become larger. The potential impact on other observables is discussed briefly.
