Open Heavy Flavor Transport in sNN=5.02Â TeV Pb+Pb Collisions

Employing a previously developed transport approach that incorporates the paradigm of a strongly coupled medium in both bulk and heavy flavor interactions throughout the thermal evolution of the system, we compute the D- and B-meson observables in sNN=5.02 TeV Pb+Pb collisions. The bulk evolution is modelled by an ideal hydrodynamic model tuned to described the light hadrons' observables, while the heavy flavor dynamics (diffusion in the Quark-Gluon Plasma phase, hadronization at phase transition) is computed with the potential interaction resummed by the thermodynamic T-matrix. This is implemented into the Fokker-Planck description via Langevin simulation plus resonance recombination, further augmented by the heavy-flavor mesons' interaction in the subsequent hadronic medium.
