4 Heavy flavor at RHIC At RHIC energy heavy flavor suression is similar to light flavor Simultaneous descrition of RAA and v is a tough challenge for all the models.

5 Heavy Flavors at LHC Again at LHC energy heavy flavor suression is similar to light flavor Is the momentum transfer really small! Can one describe both RAA and v simultaneously?

33 Summary & Outloo Both Langevin and Boltzmann equation has been solved in a box for heavy quar roagating in a thermal bath comosed of gluon at T= 400 MeV as well as for a exanding medium at RHIC and LHC energies. We found charm quars does not follow the Brownian motion at RHIC and LHC energies. Langevin dynamics overestimate the suression than the Boltzmann aroach. For a given RAA Boltzmann aroach develo larger v. With isotroic cross-section one can reroduce RAA and v simultaneously within the Boltzmann aroached at RHIC energy. We have also highlighted the significance of the hadronic hase. Imlementation of radiative rocess is under rogress.
