Drag force in a string model dual to large-N QCD

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-02-03 v2

Abstract

We compute the drag force exerted on a quark and a di-quark systems in a background dual to large-N QCD at finite temperature. We find that appears a drag force in the former setup with flow of energy proportional to the mass of the quark while in the latter there is no dragging as in other studies. We also review the screening length.
