Energy loss of heavy and light quarks in holographic magnetized background

We systematically study holographic effects on the magnetic field dependence of the drag force, diffusion coefficient, jet quenching parameter of heavy quarks and the shooting string energy loss of light quarks in the RHIC and LHC energy regions by using the AdS/CFT correspondence in this paper. This study is motivated by the phenomena of strong magnetic field and jet quenching, which have been found in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The probe's direction of motion is perpendicular and parallel to the direction of magnetic field $B$. The effects of magnetic field on energy loss when moving perpendicular to the magnetic field direction are larger than moving parallel to the magnetic field direction, which implies that the magnetic field tends to suppress more quarks and jets when moving in the transverse direction than in the parallel direction. It is found that the diffusion coefficient decreases with the magnetic field in the transverse direction, but increases with the magnetic field in the parallel direction, which indicates that the quark may diffuse farther when moving parallel to the magnetic field direction. We also find that the magnetic field will enhance the energy loss of the light quarks when moving in the transverse direction than in the parallel direction.

Moving heavy quarkonium entropy, effective string tension, and the QCD phase diagram

The entropy and effective string tension of the moving heavy quark-antiquark pair in the strongly coupled plasmas are calculated by using a deformed an anti-de Sitter/Reissner-Nordstr$\ddot{o}$m black hole metric. A sharp peak of the heavy-quarkonium entropy around the deconfinement transition can be realized in our model, which is consistent with the lattice QCD result. The effective string tension of the heavy quark-antiquark pair is related to the deconfinement phase transition. Thus, we investigate the deconfinement phase transition by analyzing the characteristics of the effective string tension with different temperatures, chemical potentials, and rapidities. It is found that the results of phase diagram calculated through effective string tension are in agreement with results calculated through a Polyakov loop. We argue that a moving system will reach the phase transition point at a lower temperature and chemical potential than a stationary system. It means that the lifetime of the moving QGP becomes longer than the static one.

Effect of the Wood-Saxon nuclear distribution on the chiral magnetic field in Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions

The formation of the QCD vacuum with nonzero winding number $Q_w$ during relativistic heavy-ion collisions breaks the parity and charge-parity symmetry. A new kind of field configuration can separate charge in the presence of a background magnetic field-the "chiral magnetic effect". The strong magnetic field and the QCD vacuum can both completely be produced in the noncentral nuclear-nuclear collision. Basing on the theory of Kharzeev,Mclerran and Warringa, we use the Wood-Saxon nucleon distribution to replace that of the uniform distribution to improve the magnetic field calculation method of the noncentral collision. The chiral magnetic field distribution at LHC(Large Hadron Collider) energy regions are predicted. We also consider the contributions to the magnetic field of the total charge given by the produced quarks.
