abstract
Heavy quark medium induced radiative energy loss is derived to all orders in opacity, $(L/\lambda_g)^n$. The analytic expression generalizes the GLV opacity expansion for massless quanta to heavy quarks with mass $M$ in a QCD plasma with a gluon dispersion characterized by an asymptotic plasmon mass, $m_g=gT/\sqrt{2}$. Remarkably, we find that the general result is obtained by simply shifting all frequencies in the GLV series by $(m_g^2+x^2 M^2)/(2 x E)$. Numerical evaluation of the first order in opacity energy loss shows that both charm and bottom energy losses are much closer to the incoherent radiation limit than light partons in nuclear collisions at both RHIC and LHC energies. However, the radiation lengths of heavy quarks remain large compared to nuclear dimensions and hence high $p_T$ heavy quark production is volume rather than surface dominated.

What is the Quark-Gluon Plasma made of?
The quark-gluon plasma is best described as a strongly coupled liquid of massive, very short-lived quark and gluon quasiparticles, with sound (phonon) modes becoming the most well-defined collective excitation at low momenta.
