Transport Theory of Heavy Flavor in Relativistic Nuclear Collisions

Abstract

A short overview is presented for the recent progress in the theory of heavy flavor transport in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions, including a summary of different transport models, their phenomenological results of heavy meson quenching and flow at RHIC and LHC, a possible solution to the $R_{\mathrm{AA}}$ vs. $v_2$ puzzle and predictions for heavy flavor observables beyond the current measurements.
