Description
Recent experimental advances in heavy-flavor physics in relativistic
heavy-ion collisions motivated us to study the interaction and propagation
of heavy hadrons in a thermal bath. In this talk I will present some of
our results on the transport of heavy mesons and baryons in a light-hadron
gas. I will detail the microscopic interactions based on the application
of effective field theories with unitarity constraints, the calculation of
heavy-hadron transport coefficients at finite temperature and density, and
the implementation of our findings for the hadronic evolution in different
transport models of heavy-ion collisions. We compare our results to
experimental data and make predictions for collisions at the Relativistic
Heavy-Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider.
