The computation of radiative energy loss in a dynamically screened QCD medium is a key ingredient for obtaining reliable predictions for jet quenching in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. We calculate, to first order in the opacity, the energy loss suffered by a heavy quark traveling through an infinite and time-independent QCD medium and show that the result for a dynamical medium is almost twice that obtained previously for a medium consisting of randomly distributed static scattering centers. A quantitative description of jet suppression in RHIC and LHC experiments thus must correctly account for the dynamics of the medium's constituents.

    Heavy-quark transport in quark-gluon plasma is derived from the Kadanoff-Baym equation; off-shell and memory effects reduce scattering rates and slow relaxation.
