Heavy quark energy loss through polarization and radiation in the hot QCD medium

Abstract We present a comparative study on the heavy quarks energy loss through medium polarization and gluon radiation in the quark-gluon plasma. To do so, we investigated the energy loss per unit length and drag coefficient for both cases. To have better contrast, we also obtained the nuclear modi...

Summary:Abstract We present a comparative study on the heavy quarks energy loss through medium polarization and gluon radiation in the quark-gluon plasma. To do so, we investigated the energy loss per unit length and drag coefficient for both cases. To have better contrast, we also obtained the nuclear modification factor employing Langevin dynamics. The comparison shows that the polarization effect dominates at lower momentum. The medium temperature also plays an important role in the comparison.
