Present situation:a) Multiplicity of stable hadrons made of (u,d,s) is described by thermal modelsb) Multiplicity of unstable hadrons can be understood in terms of hadronic final state interactionsc) Slopes difficult to interpret due to the many hadronic interactions (however the successful coalescence models hints towards a v2 production in the plasma)d) Electromagnetic probes from plasma and hadrons rather similar
If one wants to have direct information of the plasma one has to find other probes:
Good candidate: hadrons with a c or b quarkHere we concentrate on open charm mesons for which indirect experimental data are available (single electrons)

Why Heavy Quarks probe the QGP
Idea: Heavy quarks are produced in hard processes with a knowninitial momentum distribution (from pp).
If the heavy quarks pass through a QGP they collide and radiate and therefore change their momentum.
If the relaxation time is larger than the time they spent in the plasma their final momentum distribution carries information on the plasma
This may allow for studying plasma properties usingpt distribution, v2 transfer, back to back correlations

Individual heavy quarks follow Brownian motion: we can describe the time evolution of their distribution by a
Fokker – Planck equation:

Input reduced to Drift (A) and Diffusion (B) coefficient.
Much less complex than a parton cascade which has to follow the light particles and their thermalization as well.
Can be combined with adequate models like hydro for the dynamics of light quarks

Strategy: take the elementary cross sections for charm and calculate the coefficients (g = thermal distribution of the collision partners)
and then introduce an overall κ factor to studythe physics

In case of collisions (2 2 processes): Pioneering work of Cleymans (1985), Svetitsky (1987), extended later by Mustafa, Pal & Srivastava (1997).
Later Teaney and Moore, Rapp and Hees similar approach but plasma treatment is different
• For radiation: Numerous works on energy loss; very little has been done on drift and diffusion coefficients

Input quantities for our calculations Au – Au collision at 200 AGeV
. c-quark transverse-space distribution according to Glauber
• c-quark transverse momentum distribution as in d-Au (STAR)… seems very similar to p-p No Cronin effect included; to be improved.
• c-quark rapidity distribution according to R.Vogt (Int.J.Mod.Phys. E12 (2003) 211-270).
• Medium evolution: 4D / Need local quantities such as T(x,t) taken from hydrodynamical evolution (Heinz & Kolb)
•D meson produced via coalescence mechanism. (at the transition temperature we pick a u/d quark with the a thermal distribution) but other scenarios possible.

This is a generic problem ! Van Hees and Rapp:Charmed resonances andExpanding fireball (doesnot reproduce non charmedhadrons) Communicate more efficientlyv2 to the c- quarks

Only ‘exotic hadronization mechanisms’ may explain the

Conclusions
• Experimental data point towards a significant (although not complete) thermalization of c quarks in QGP.
• The model seems able to reproduce experimental RAA, at the price of a large rescaling K-factor (especially at large pt), of the order of k=10 or by including radiative processes.
• Still a lot to do in order to understand the v2. Possible explanations for discrepancies are:
1) spatial distribution of initial c-quarks
2) Part of the flow is due to the hadronic phase subsequent to QGP
3) Reaction scenario different
4) Miclos Nessi (v2, ,azimuthal correlations???)
Azimutal correlations could be of great help in order to identify the nature of thermalizing mechanism.
