The momentum diffusion coefficient for heavy quarks is studied in a deconfined gluon plasma in the static approximation by investigating a correlation function of the color electric field using Monte Carlo techniques. The diffusion coefficient is extracted from the long distance behavior of such a correlator. For temperatures Tc < T <~ 2 Tc, our nonperturbative estimate of the diffusion coefficient is found to be very different from the leading order perturbation theory, and is in the right ballpark to explain the heavy quark flow seen by PHENIX at RHIC.

    A lattice QCD method is proposed to compute the momentum dependence of heavy quark drag and diffusion coefficients in a thermal gluonic plasma.

  2. Momentum Dependence of Heavy Quark Diffusion in a Thermal Gluonic Plasma on the Lattice

    hep-lat 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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.

    nucl-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    First simultaneous Bayesian extraction of 2πT D_s and q-hat/T^3 from D-meson R_AA and v2 at 5.02 TeV, yielding a non-monotonic temperature dependence in their ratio that deviates from the expected value of 2.

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    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.
