Energy loss of B and D mesons in PbPb collisions at sqrt{s_(NN)} = 2.76 TeV
read the original abstract
We present the calculations of collisional and radiative energy loss of $B$ and $D$ mesons in the medium produced in PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV. The nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$ of $B$ and $D$ mesons including shadowing and energy loss are calculated and compared with the measured data. While the $D$ meson $R_{AA}$ can be described in terms of the radiative energy loss alone, both the collisional as well as radiative energy loss are required to explain the $B$ meson measurements.

Impact of momentum-dependent drag coefficient on energy loss of charm and bottom quarks in QGP
Extends drag coefficient with momentum-dependent polynomials and evolves charm/bottom distributions via Fokker-Planck to compute R_AA in 5.02 TeV Pb-Pb collisions for comparison to ALICE/ATLAS data.
