Abstract

In this paper heavy quark energy loss models are embedded in full event-by-event viscous hydrodynamic simulations to investigate the nuclear suppression factor and azimuthal anisotropy of D mesons in PbPb collisions at 5.02 TeV in the range 8-40 GeV. In our model calculations, the of D mesons is consistent with experimental data from the CMS experiment. We present the first calculations of heavy flavor cumulants and (and also discuss ), which is also consistent with experimental data. Event-shape engineering techniques are used to compute the event-by-event correlation between the soft hadron and the heavy meson . We predict a linear correlation between these observables on an event-by-event basis.
