Study of Charm and Bottom Quark Production, Propagation, Energy Loss and associated Nuclear Modification Factor as a Signature of Quark Gluon Plasma
Abstract
The aim of this research work is to calculate the Nuclear Modification Factor (RAA) for heavy quarks for most central nucleus-nucleus collisions at mid rapidity at different centre of collision energy.
We consider 2.76 ATeV and 5.5 ATeV LHC energies and 200 AGeV RHIC energy for which the initial distribution for production of charm and bottoms quarks are obtained using the FONLL (Fixed Order Next to Leading Logarithm) calculation. We calculate the radiative energy loss by using the AJMS treatment and the collisional energy loss considering the Bjorken treatment and Peigne and Peshier treatment for both charm and bottom quarks. Finally we look for the RAA for both heavy quarks at different energies considering the radiative and collisional energy loss of heavy quarks and compare the results.
