Description

Improvements to heavy and light flavor energy loss models based on strong-coupling physics in quark-gluon plasma lead to qualitative agreement between the models and data from RHIC and LHC within the regimes of applicability of the calculations. Thus it is possible to describe self-consistently the dynamics of quark-gluon plasma from the lowest observed momentum modes to the highest from the AdS/CFT correspondence. (paper)
