Description
We use the gauge/gravity duality to compute the penetration depth of a quark moving through a strongly-coupled N = 4 SU(Nc) super-symmetric Yang-Mills plasma. Using numerical techniques, we study the effect of next-to-leading order fluctuations on the holographic string in AdS5-Schwarzchild.
