Transverse dynamics of charmed hadrons in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions
Transverse momentum spectra and anisotropic flow distributions
are studied for charmonia and charmed hadrons produced in Pb-Pb collisions and
measured with the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The
investigations are performed within the framework of the Statistical
Hadronization Model with the transverse dynamics evaluated using predictions
from relativistic viscous hydrodynamics as implemented in the computer codes
MUSIC and FluiduM. With this essentially parameter-free approach good agreement
is obtained for spectra in the range GeV/c. The
observed wide distribution in of anisotropic flow coefficients
and for charmonia is also well reproduced, while their magnitude is
generally somewhat over predicted. This finding may be connected to a
difference in spatial distribution between light and charmed hadrons due to a
different diffusion of light and heavy quarks in the hot fireball
