Heavy flavour Langevin diffusion with the chromo-electromagnetic field fluctuations in the quark-gluon plasma
Abstract
The chromo-electromagnetic field is produced due to the motion of partons in a quark-gluon plasma created by relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The fluctuations in the produced chromo-electromagnetic field are important, since they cause heavy quarks to gain energy in the low velocity limit. We study the effect of such fluctuations on heavy quark diffusion in quark-gluon plasma within the framework of Langevin dynamics under the background matter described by the ()-dimensional relativistic viscous hydrodynamics. Theoretical calculations of the nuclear modification factor () of heavy mesons ( and mesons), with the effect of these fluctuations, are compared with experimental measurements in collisions at GeV by the STAR experiment at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and collisions at and TeV by the ALICE and CMS experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We find a significant effect of these fluctuations in describing the the measured of and mesons in both RHIC and LHC energies.
