Abstract

We describe the propagation of charm quarks in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) by means of an event-by-event transport approach. In our calculations the non-perturbative interaction between heavy quarks and light quarks has been taken into account through a quasi-particle approach with thermal light quark masses tuned to reproduce lQCD thermodynamics. We found that the flow observables v2v_2 and v3v_3 of D mesons are comparable with the experimental measurements for Pb+Pb collisions at 5.02 ATeV in different ranges of centrality selections. The results are analyzed with Event-Shape Engineering technique. The comparison of the anisotropic flow coefficients vnv_n with experimental data show a quite well agreement with experimental data for different flow vector q2q_2 selections, which confirms the strong coupling between charm quarks and light quarks in the QCD matter. Furthermore, we present here a novel study of the event-by-event correlations between flow harmonics of DD mesons and soft hadrons at LHC energy with the Event-Shape Engineering technique that can put further constraints on heavy quark transport coefficients toward a solid comparison between the phenomenological determination and the lattice QCD calculations.
