Drag and jet quenching of heavy quarks in a strongly coupled N = 2 ∗ plasma
The drag of a heavy quark and the jet quenching parameter are studied in the strongly coupled N = 2∗ plasma using the AdS/CFT correspondence. Both increase in units of the spatial string tension as the theory departs from conformal invariance. The description of heavy quark dynamics using a Langevin equation is also considered. It is found that the difference between the velocity dependent fact...
متن کاملBaryon Dissociation in a Strongly Coupled Plasma
Using the dual string theory, we study a circular baryonic configuration in a wind of strongly coupled N = 4 Yang-Mills plasma blowing in the plane of the baryon, before and after a quark has dissociated from it. A simple enough model that captures many interesting features is when there are four quarks in the baryon. As a step towards phenomenology, we compare representative dissociated config...
متن کاملDiffusion in a strongly coupled magnetized plasma.
A first-principles study of diffusion in a strongly coupled one-component plasma in a magnetic field B is presented. As in a weakly coupled plasma, the diffusion coefficient perpendicular to the field exhibits a Bohm-like 1/B behavior in the strong-field limit but its overall scaling is substantially different. The diffusion coefficient parallel to the field is strongly affected by the field as...
متن کاملViolation of the holographic viscosity bound in a strongly coupled anisotropic plasma.
We study the conductivity and shear viscosity tensors of a strongly coupled N=4 super-Yang-Mills plasma which is kept anisotropic by a θ parameter that depends linearly on one of the spatial dimensions. Its holographic dual is given by an anisotropic axion-dilaton-gravity background and has recently been proposed by Mateos and Trancanelli as a model for the preequilibrium stage of quark-gluon p...
متن کاملOn Drag Forces and Jet Quenching in Strongly-Coupled Plasmas
We compute the drag force experienced by a heavy quark that moves through plasma in a gauge theory whose dual description involves arbitrary metric and dilaton fields. As a concrete application, we consider the cascading gauge theory at temperatures high above the deconfining scale, where we obtain a drag force with a non-trivial velocity dependence. We compare our results with the jet-quenchin...
