Estimating the Charm Quark Diffusion Coefficient and thermalization time from D meson spectra at RHIC and LHC

Francesco Scardina, Santosh K. Das, Vincenzo Minissale +2

We describe the propagation of charm quarks in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) by means of a Boltzmann transport approach. Non-perturbative interaction between heavy quarks and light…
