Heavy quark diffusion in perturbative QCD at next-to-leading order
read the original abstract
We compute the momentum diffusion coefficient of a nonrelativistic heavy quark in a hot QCD plasma, to next-to-leading order in the weak coupling expansion. Corrections arise at O(g); physically they represent interference between overlapping scatterings, as well as soft, electric scale ($p\sim gT$) gauge field physics, which we treat using the hard thermal loop (HTL) effective theory. In 3-color, 3-flavor QCD, the momentum diffusion constant of a fundamental representation heavy quark at NLO is $\kappa = \frac{16\pi}{3} \alpha_s^2 T^3 (\ln \frac{1}{g} + 0.07428 + 1.8869 g)$. The convergence of the weak coupling expansion is poor.

Momentum Dependence of Heavy Quark Diffusion in a Thermal Gluonic Plasma on the Lattice
Lattice simulations of a 3D effective gluonic plasma theory produce the first reported momentum dependence of heavy quark drag and diffusion coefficients in a non-perturbative non-Abelian thermal medium.

Heavy Quark Transport is Non-Gaussian Beyond Leading Log
Heavy-quark momentum transfer beyond leading logarithm in weak-coupling plasmas is non-Gaussian with asymmetric exponential tails, matching the structure seen in strongly coupled holographic plasmas.

Stochastic Dynamics of Heavy Quarks in Strongly Coupled Plasma
Kolmogorov dynamics for heavy quarks in hot plasma shows significantly delayed large-momentum equilibration compared to Fokker-Planck with matched drag, due to rare low-momentum-loss events.
