Heavy meson flow harmonics in event-by-event viscous relativistic hydrodynamics

Event-by-event viscous hydrodynamics is combined with heavy quark energy loss models to compute heavy flavor flow cumulants \(v_2\{2\}\), \(v_3\{2\}\), and \(v_2\{4\}\) as well as the nuclear modification factors of \(D^0\) and \(B^0\) mesons in PbPb collisions at 2.76 TeV. Our results indicate that...

Description
Summary:Event-by-event viscous hydrodynamics is combined with heavy quark energy loss models to compute heavy flavor flow cumulants \(v_2\{2\}\), \(v_3\{2\}\), and \(v_2\{4\}\) as well as the nuclear modification factors of \(D^0\) and \(B^0\) mesons in PbPb collisions at 2.76 TeV. Our results indicate that bottom quarks can flow as much as charm quarks in the \(p_T\) range 8--30 GeV.
