The collisional energy gain of a heavy quark due to chromo-electromagnetic field fluctuations in a quark-gluon plasma is investigated. The field fluctuations lead to an energy gain of the quark for all temperatures and velocities. The net effect is a reduction of the collisional energy loss by 15-40% for parameters relevant at RHIC energies.

The color field of a quark, stripped off in a hard reaction, is regenerated via gluon radiation. The space-time development of a jet is controlled by the coherence time of gluon radiation, which for heavy quarks is subject to the dead-cone effect, su
ppressing gluons with small transverse momenta. As a result, heavy quarks can radiate only a small fraction of the initial energy. This explains the peculiar shape of the measured heavy quark fragmentation function, which strongly peaks at large fractional momenta z. The fragmentation length distribution, related to the fragmentation function in a model independent way, turns out to be concentrated at distances much shorter than the confinement radius. This implies that the mechanisms of heavy quark fragmentation is pure perturbative.
Four models for the initial conditions of a fluid dynamic description of high energy heavy ion collisions are analysed and compared. We study expectation values and event-by-event fluctuations in the initial transverse energy density profiles from Pb
-Pb collisions. Specifically, introducing a Fourier-Bessel mode expansion for fluctuations, we determine expectation values and two-mode correlation functions of the expansion coefficients. The analytically solveable independent point-sources model is compared to an initial state model based on Glauber theory and two models based on the Color Glass Condensate framework. We find that the large wavelength modes of all investigated models show universal properties for central collisions and also discuss to which extent general properties of initial conditions can be understood analytically.
We study the energy loss and the energy gain of heavy quarks in a hot thermal medium. These include the study of the energy change due to the polarization and to the interaction with the thermal fluctuations of the medium. The dynamics of the heavy q
uarks with the medium is described by the Wong equations, that allow for the inclusion of both the backreaction on the heavy quarks due to the polarization of the medium, and of the interaction with the thermal fluctuations of the gluon field. Both the momentum as well as the temperature dependence of the energy loss and gain of charm and bottom quark are studied. We find that heavy quark energy gain dominate the energy loss at high-temperature domain achievable at the early stage of the high energy collisions. This finding supports the recently observed heavy quarks results in Glasma and will have a significant impact on heavy quark observables at RHIC and LHC energies.
We study the production and evolution of charm and bottom quarks in hot partonic medium produced in heavy ion collisions. The heavy quarks loose energy in the medium which is reflected in the transverse momentum spectra of heavy mesons. The collision
al energy loss of heavy quarks has been calculated using QCD calculations. The radiative energy loss is obtained using two models namely reaction operator formalism and generalized dead cone approach. The nuclear modification factors, $R_{AA}$ as a function of transverse momentum by including shadowing and energy loss are calculated for $D^{0}$ and $B^{+}$ mesons in PbPb collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV and for $D^{0}$ mesons at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV and are compared with the recent measurements. The radiative energy loss from generalized dead cone approach alone is sufficient to produce measured $D^{0}$ meson $R_{AA}$ at both the LHC energies. The radiative energy loss from reaction operator formalism plus collisional energy loss gives good description of $D^{0}$ meson $R_{AA}$. For the case of $B^{+}$ meson, the radiative energy loss from generalized dead cone approach plus collisional energy loss gives good description of the CMS data. The radiative process is dominant for charm quarks while for the bottom, both the radiative process and the elastic collisions are important.
We study the diffusion of charm quarks in the early stage of high energy nuclear collisions at the RHIC and the LHC. The main novelty of the present study is the introduction of the color current carried by the heavy quarks that propagate in the evol
ving Glasma (Ev-Glasma), that is responsible of the energy loss via polarization of the medium. We compute the transverse momentum broadening, $sigma_p$, of charm in the pre-thermalization stage, and the impact of the diffusion on the nuclear modification factor in nucleus-nucleus collisions. The net effect of energy loss is marginal in the pre-thermalization stage. The study is completed by the calculation of coordinate spreading, $sigma_x$, and by a comparison with Langevin dynamics. $sigma_p$ in Ev-Glasma overshoots the result of standard Langevin dynamics at the end of the pre-hydro regime. We interpret this as a result of memory of the color force acting on the charm quarks that implies $sigma_ppropto t^2$. Moreover, $sigma_xpropto t^2 $ in the pre-hydro stage shows that the charm quark in the Ev-Glasma is in the regime of ballistic diffusion.
