Light quark energy loss in strongly coupled N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma

We compute the penetration depth of a light quark moving through a large N{sub c}, strongly coupled N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma using gauge/gravity duality and a combination of analytic and…

Heavy quarks in a magnetic field

A bstractThe motion of a heavy charged quark in a magnetic field is analyzed in the vacuum of strongly coupled CFT. The motion of the quark is dissipative. It moves in spiral until it eventually…

The Gauge-Gravity Duality and Heavy Ion Collisions

This chapter provides a review of two particular applications of the gauge-gravity duality to heavy ion collisions. The first involves a study of the wake of a quark as it travels through the quark…

Early thermalization, hydrodynamics and energy loss in AdS/CFT

Gauge/gravity duality has provided unprecedented opportunities to study dynamics in certain strongly coupled gauge theories. This review aims to highlight several applications to heavy ion collisions…

The sound of a fast parton in QCD

The spacetime distribution of energy and momentum deposited by a fast parton traversing a weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma is calculated by treating the fast parton as the source of an external…

    In making these plots, spatial grids with resolutions ∆x ≈ (0.3-1)/(πT ) were used. This necessarily limits the fidelity of these plots at distances |x| ∆x from the quark
