Elastic scattering of charm (c) and bottom (b) quarks via D‐ and B‐meson resonance states in an expanding, strongly interacting quark‐gluon plasma is investigated. Drag and diffusion coefficients are calculated from an effective model based on chiral symmetry and heavy‐quark effective theory, and utilized in a relativistic Langevin simulation to obtain transverse‐momentum spectra and elliptic flow (ν2) of c‐ and b‐quarks. The hadronization to D‐ and B‐mesons is described by coalescence and fragmentation, and the resulting decay‐electron spectra are compared to recent RHIC data.
