Heavy quark diffusion and radiation at intermediate momentum

Abstract

We discuss heavy quark diffusion and radiation in an intermediate-momentum regime where finite mass effects can be significant. Diffusion processes are described in the Fokker-Planck approximation for soft momentum transfer, while radiative ones are taken into account by nearly collinear gluon emission from a single scattering in the Boltzmann equation. We also consider radiative corrections to the transverse momentum diffusion coefficient, which are $\mathcal{O}(g^2)$ suppressed than the leading-order diffusion coefficient but logarithmically enhanced. Numerical results show that the heavy quark distribution function depends on the energy loss mechanism so that the momentum dependence of suppression is distinguishable. Employing the heavy quark diffusion coefficient constrained by lattice QCD data, we estimate the nuclear modification factor which exhibits a transition from diffusion at low momentum to radiation at high momentum. The significance of radiative effects at intermediate momentum depends on the diffusion coefficient and running coupling constant.
