205 Appendix D: Formation Time and Brick Estimates ature T ≃ 210 MeV taken at L/ 2 = 2 . 5 fm, and D/ 2 πT = 3; they are again in qualitative agreement with the full numerics shown in Fig. 5.2, and the a posteriori input parameters are somewhat less arbitrary. Figure D.2: R$_{AA}$ ( p$_{T}$ ) for charm and bottom quarks created uniformly along a static brick of SYM plasma of length L = 5 fm and temperature T ≃ 210 MeV (from Eq. (C.9) with PHOBOS gluon density dN$_{g}$/dy = 1750 [87, 403], τ$_{0}$ = . 2 fm, and τ = L/ 2 = 2 . 5 fm) according to Eq. (D.22) with D = 3 / 2 πT . The magnitude and momentum dependence are similar to the results of the full numerical simulation with Bjorken expansion and realistic medium geometry shown in Fig. 5.2.
