We analyze a contribution of the finite-width (mass-smearing) effects to the mixing of neutral mesons. It was shown, that this contribution is dominant in the D-meson system and large in the K-meson one. An account of the mass-smearing…

A charmed quark experiences drag and diffusion in the quark-gluon plasma, as well as strong interaction with the plasma surface. Our simulations indicate that charmed quarks created in heavy ion collisions will be trapped in the mixed phase…
