Drag force in AdS/CFT
نویسندگان
چکیده
The AdS/CFT correspondence and a classical test string approximation are used to calculate the drag force on an external quark moving in a thermal plasma of N = 4 superYang-Mills theory. This computation is motivated by the phenomenon of jet-quenching in relativistic heavy ion collisions.

Drag Force of Moving Quark in STU Background
In this paper we consider a quark moving in D = 5, N = 2 supergravity thermal plasma. By using three charge non-extremal black hole solution (STU solution) we calculate drag force on the quark and diffusion constant from AdS/CFT correspondence.
متن کاملTesting AdS/CFT at LHC
After an introduction to jet phenomenology and tests of AdS/CFT at LHC we derive the heavy quark drag of a string dangling in a shock metric of AdS space, thus generalizing the AdS/CFT drag calculations in strongly coupled thermal media to momentum loss in both hot and cold nuclear matter.
متن کاملLangevin + Hydrodynamics Approach to Heavy Quark Propagation and Correlation in QGP
We develop a relativistic Langevin dynamics under the background of strongly interacting quarkgluon fluid described by the (3+1)-dimensional hydrodynamics. The drag force acting on charm and bottom quarks is parametrized according to the formula obtained from the anti-de-Sitter space/conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence. In this setup, we calculate the nuclear modification factor RAA...

Following recent developments, we employ the AdS/CFT correspondence to determine the drag force exerted on an external quark that moves through an N = 4 super-Yang-Mills plasma with a non-zero R-charge density (or, equivalently, a non-zero chemical potential). We find that the drag force is larger than in the case where the plasma is neutral.
