Spatial Wilson Loops and Energy Loss for Heavy Quarks in Magnetized HQCD Model

Using a holographic heavy quark model, this paper investigates how external magnetic fields and spatial anisotropy affect the effective potential, string tension, and energy loss of heavy quarks in hot dense QGP, revealing magnetic catalysis in phase transitions and anisotropy-dependent deviations from the standard T2T^2 scaling of string tension.
