Description
B. Abelev and the ALICE Collaboration reported this measurement. It appeared in Physical Review Letters in September 2013. The team studied D mesons in lead-lead collisions. D mesons are particles that contain a charm quark. Noncentral collisions leave an oval overlap zone, they explain.
The team measured how particle flow favors that oval's plane. This favoring is called elliptic flow by physicists. D meson flow matched light particle flow in size. The signal was clearly positive at lower momenta. The result shows charm quarks move with the hot medium. That medium is the quark-gluon plasma formed in collisions.
