Description
High energy heavy ion collisions explore the high temperature deconfined ("quark-gluon plasma") phase of QCD. Heavy quark observables provide a very interesting probe of the plasma. Theoretically, the large mass of the quark leads to simplifications, which allow quantitative study of some observables even in the strongly coupled plasma. I will discuss some non-perturbative investigations into heavy quark observables. In particular, I will discuss bb bound states in the plasma, and energy loss of heavy quarks.
