Abstract

We consider heavy-quark energy loss and pT-broadening in a strongly-coupled N=4 Super Yang Mills (SYM) plasma, and the problem of finite-extend matter is addressed. When expressed in terms of the appropriate saturation momentum, one finds identical parametric forms for the energy loss in pQCD and SYM theory, while pT-broadening is radiation dominated in SYM theory and multiple scattering dominated in pQCD.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, Proceedings of the IIIrd Workshop for Young Scientists on the Physics of Ultrarelativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions (HotQuarks08), Estes Park, USA, August 18-23 200
