Abstract

We calculate chromo-electric and chromo-magnetic correlators in quenched QCD at 1.5Tc1.5T_c and 104Tc10^4 T_c with the aim to estimate the heavy quark diffusion coefficient at leading order in the inverse heavy quark mass expansion, κE\kappa_E, as well as the coefficient of first mass suppressed correction, κB\kappa_B. We use gradient flow for noise reduction. At 1.5Tc1.5T_c we obtain: 1.70κE/T33.121.70 \le \kappa_E/T^3 \le 3.12 and 1.03<κB/T3<2.611.03< \kappa_B/T^3 < 2.61. The latter implies that the mass suppressed effects in the heavy quark diffusion coefficient are 20% for bottom quarks and 34% for charm quark at this temperature.
