Calculation Shows Why Heavy Quarks Get Caught Up in the Flow (IMAGE)
Caption
Heavy quarks (Q) interact most strongly with quark-gluon plasma (QGP)—exhibiting a short mean free path (zig zags)—near the transition temperature (near T/Tc = 1, in lower left), and less strongly with a longer mean free path at higher temperatures.
