The competition between the initial drag and the subsequent collective effects tends to restrict the time dependence of charm quark R AA. We find that the relative azimuthal distribution of the initially back-to-back generated c c ¯ pairs presents a broadening behavior, which is more pronounced for c c ¯ pairs with small initial p T and when the model B approach is adopted. (model A) and 2 π T D s = 1.3 + ( T / T c ) 2 (model B). The coupling strength between the charm quarks and the QGP constituents, quantified by the spatial diffusion coefficient 2 π T D s, is obtained by performing a phenomenological fit analysis to the lattice QCD calculations, resulting in 2 π T D s = const. The parameters of the model are tuned based on comparison to data. In particular, in the coalescence also the contribution from higher hadronic states components is considered. The subsequent hadronization is implemented via a dual model, including fragmentation and heavy-light coalescence mechanisms. The Brownian motion of charm quarks propagating through the QGP is described by utilizing the Langevin transport equation. The space-time evolution of the temperature and the flow velocity field of the medium are quantified by means of (3+1)-dimensional relativistic viscous hydrodynamics. The initial conditions of such collisions are simulated with a transverse profile described via a Glauber-based model, and a longitudinal behavior modeled by a data-inspired parametrization. Charm quarks are regarded as an effective probes of the deconfined medium formed in these collisions, the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). “If we’re going to be a good basketball program and reach our goals, it is going to be with people that are ultra-competitive.”ĭuquesne will look for its fourth consecutive win on Sunday, when it hosts Temple.We present a theoretical framework to study open-charm production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We’ll take the win, but our performance was not up to the standard it needs to be. “I walked back into a locker room that made me feel really good,” Burt said. The Golden Griffins shot 44% from the field in the third quarter, while also hitting five threes in the final frame.īurt expressed his frustration with the lackluster second-half performance, while making sure to note that his players were holding themselves accountable. Canisius’ offense found greater success against Duquesne in the second half. I just want to go out there and help our team win.”ĭespite the 16-point advantage at halftime, the Dukes left the door open for the Golden Griffins to make a comeback. “It’s been a long journey, but I love basketball, I love Duquesne, and I love my teammates. “Hopefully, I’ll have some more in the next game and just kind of string it along,” Bovell said. While expressing her gratitude for the moment, Bovell also said that she expects it to be one she continues to replicate throughout the campaign. It was a special moment for her, one that many experts were skeptical would even happen, with Burt referring to her even being on the court as a “miracle”. She hit a 3-pointer with 2:37 left in the first half, marking the first points she’d scored in 998 days. The victory also saw the first basket of Halle Bovell’s return to the court after two years sidelined by injury. The Dukes finished the game with a 37-27 advantage on the boards. But she did exactly what she’s expected to do.”īurt emphasized Duquesne’s dramatic height advantage over Canisius, which was ultimately put to good use. “I’m not going to give her a cupcake,” Burt said. Head Coach Dan Burt was not surprised by the sophomore’s season high in scoring. Her performance was punctuated by a three-point play with just over a minute remaining in the third quarter, when she drew the foul and made the basket from the post position, the spot on the floor where she generated most of her scoring throughout the day. Johnson made eight of her nine field-goal attempts. On the flipside, the Golden Griffins were able to muster just four assists in the first two quarters.ĭuquesne finished the game with 20 assists, with 10 of them coming from Megan McConnell, who finished just one point shy of a double-double.
The Dukes’ offense had great success moving the ball around in the first half, recording 14 assists. Duquesne closed the second quarter on an 11-2 run and took a 39-23 lead into the locker room at halftime.
#Quark 2018 not opening series
The defense stiffened toward the end of the first as well, forcing a series of turnovers that translated to made shots on the other end. The 21 points in the opening frame tied Duquesne’s second-highest scoring period in a quarter all season. The Dukes opened with a flying start, leading 21-12 after the first quarter.
Precious Johnson and Fatou Pouye each netted 19 points to help Duquesne put away Canisius 69-60 at UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse on Wednesday afternoon.
