Heavy-quark thermalization in the quark-gluon plasma via a fractional Langevin equation

The dynamics of heavy quarks in the quark-gluon plasma is commonly described within a standard Langevin equation framework. In this work, we extend the conventional framework by using a fractional Langevin equation based on the Caputo derivative of order $\alpha$ with $1<\alpha\leq 2$. We solve the fractional Langevin...
