Heavy quark transport in quark-gluon plasma beyond the non-relativistic limit

The dynamics of heavy quarks in quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formed in heavy ion collisions provide a unique window to characterize its properties. Existing approaches to describe heavy quarks in medium rely either on quasiparticle-based models of QGP, or on assuming that the momentum transfer from the medium follows Gauss...
