Seminar “Theory of Hadronic Matter Under Extreme Conditions and Particle Physics”

4 June 2015, 16:00, BLTP Blokhintsev conference hall (4th floor)

  A.V. Sadofyev (ITEP, Moscow (Russia) and CTP, MIT, Cambridge, MA (USA)) “Chiral drag force” Abstract We showed that there is an anomalous contribution into the drag force acting on a heavy quark running through the holographic thermal plasma. This contribution results in a correlation between the chiral magnetic effect current and the displacement of heavy quarks in a given event. It is also possible to use the result for further discussion of non-dissipative nature of chiral effects.
