TL;DR
This paper evaluates the transport properties of heavy quarks in Quark Gluon Plasma using perturbative QCD, comparing theoretical predictions of nuclear suppression with experimental data at different baryonic chemical potentials.
Contribution
It introduces a method to compute heavy quark transport coefficients and nuclear suppression factors considering both zero and non-zero baryonic chemical potentials.
Findings
Theoretical RAA estimates align with experimental data.
Heavy quark diffusion coefficients are quantified.
Impact of baryonic chemical potential on RAA is analyzed.
Abstract
We focus on evaluating transport coefficients like drag and diffusion of heavy quarks (HQ) passing through Quark Gluon Plasma using perturbative QCD (pQCD). Experimental observable like nuclear suppression factor (RAA) of HQ is evaluated for both zero and non-zero baryonic chemical potential ({\mu}_B) scenarios using Fokker- Planck equation. Theoretical estimates of RAA are contrasted with experiments.
