Title:  Heavy Quark Diffusion Coefficient from Lattice QCD
Abstract:

I will present HotQCD's new lattice results for the heavy quark diffusion coefficient in 2+1 flavor QCD. These results are from the temperature range of 163 MeV to 10 GeV and have a near-physical pion mass. Our results for the spatial heavy diffusion coefficient near the crossover temperature are considerably smaller than the results driven by experimental data, but close to the AdS/CFT estimate computed at strong coupling. At high temperatures, however, the spatial heavy diffusion coefficient increases and approaches the NLO weak coupling prediction within the estimated errors.
