摘要:

基于与介质的多重不关联随机碰撞图像,采用相对论Langevin方程研究了RHIC和LHC核-核碰撞中火球中c和b夸克的随机动力学.重夸克输运系数在pQCD方法中进行评估,并对软散射的介质效应进行适当的HTL恢复。为了研究pp和AA碰撞中的重味观测量,我们将Langevin方程嵌入到一个多步骤的系统中,从初始重夸克产额的NLO pQCD计算开始,在核情况下通过阴影修正、kT展宽和核几何效应进行补充.然后,只对AA碰撞,朗之万方程数值求解的背景介质描述的相对论流体力学。最后,传播的重夸克被强子化并衰变为电子。给出了RHIC和LHC束流能量下重味强子和电子半轻子衰变的核修正因子R_AA的计算结果。

英文摘要:

The stochastic dynamics of c and b quarks in the fireball created in nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC is studied employing a relativistic Langevin equation, based on a picture of multiple uncorrelated random collisions with the medium. Heavy-quark transport coefficients are evaluated within a pQCD approach, with a proper HTL resummation of medium effects for soft scatterings. The Langevin equation is embedded in a multi-step setup developed to study heavy-flavor observables in pp and AA collisions, starting from a NLO pQCD calculation of initial heavy-quark yields, complemented in the nuclear case by shadowing corrections, k_T-broadening and nuclear geometry effects. Then, only for AA collisions, the Langevin equation is solved numerically in a background medium described by relativistic hydrodynamics. Finally, the propagated heavy quarks are made hadronize and decay into electrons. Results for the nuclear modification factor R_AA of heavy-flavor hadrons and electrons from their semi-leptonic decays are provided, both for RHIC and LHC beam energies.
