RAA vs. v2 of heavy and light hadrons within a linear Boltzmann transport model

We establish a linear Boltzmann transport (LBT) model coupled to hydrodynamical background to study hard parton evolution in heavy-ion collisions. Both elastic and inelastic scatterings are included in our calculations; and heavy and light flavor partons are treated on the same footing. Within this LBT model, we provide good descriptions of heavy and light hadron suppression from RHIC to the LHC energies. Possible solutions to the RAA vs. v2 puzzle are discussed.
