Description
In this talk, I will present a short introduction to the AdS/CFT correspondence and show why it might be a useful tool to study certain strongly coupled gauge theories. In this context, I will show some results related to screening and energy loss of heavy probes traversing an N=4 super-Yang-Mills plasma, which might be helpful for understanding RHIC physics.
