Heavy quark damping rate in hot viscous QCD plasma

Abstract

We derive an expression for the heavy quark damping rate in hot quark gluon plasma in presence of flow. Here all the bath particles here are out of equilibrium due to the existence of non-zero velocity gradient. The magnetic sector shows similar infrared divergences even after hard thermal loop corrections as one encounters in case of non-viscous plasma. We estimate the first order correction in ($\eta /s$) for heavy quark damping rate due to the non-zero viscosity of the QCD plasma.
