Heavy meson flow harmonics in event-by-event viscous relativistic hydrodynamics

Abstract Event-by-event viscous hydrodynamics is combined with heavy quark energy loss models to compute heavy flavor flow cumulants v 2 {2}, v 3 {2}, and v 2 {4} as well as the nuclear modification factors of D 0 and B 0 mesons in PbPb collisions at 2.76 TeV. Our results indicate that bottom quarks can flow as much as charm quarks in the p T range 8–30 GeV.
