Heavy-quark energy loss in pQCD and SYM plasmas
arXiv:0810.2572 · doi:10.1140/epjc/s10052-009-1014-2
Abstract
We consider heavy-quark energy loss and pT-broadening in a strongly-coupled N=4 Super Yang Mills (SYM) plasma, and the problem of finite-extend matter is addressed. When expressed in terms of the appropriate saturation momentum, one finds identical parametric forms for the energy loss in pQCD and SYM theory, while pT-broadening is radiation dominated in SYM theory and multiple scattering dominated in pQCD.
