TL;DR
This paper explains the significant suppression of heavy flavor jets in heavy-ion collisions as primarily caused by binary scatterings within the quark-gluon plasma, supported by first-principles calculations.
Contribution
It provides a first-principles understanding of charm quark energy loss through binary scatterings, going beyond logarithmic approximations and employing Markov evolution.
Findings
Heavy flavor jet quenching is largely due to binary scatterings.
First-principles calculations support the dominant role of these scatterings.
The approach advances understanding of quark-gluon plasma interactions.
Abstract
We argue that the strong jet quenching of heavy flavors observed in heavy-ion collisions is to a large extent due to binary scatterings in the quark-gluon plasma. It can be understood from first principles: the charm collision probability beyond logarithmic accuracy and Markov evolution.
