Description

In this talk I will report our recent results on the computation of the heavy quark momentum diffusion coefficient from the correlator of two chromoelectric fields attached to a Polyakov loop in pure SU(3) gauge theory on lattice. We measured the diffusion coefficient on very wide range of temparatures from 1.1Tc to 10^4Tc. We see an agreement to perturbation theory at very high temperatures and can for the first time fit a temperature dependence of this quantity.
