چکیده

We study the temperature dependence of bottomonium for temperatures in the range 0.4T(c) < T < 2.1T(c), using nonrelativistic dynamics for the bottom quark and full relativistic lattice QCD simulations for Nf = 2 light flavors on a highly anisotropic lattice. We find that the Υ is insensitive to the temperature in this range, while the χb propagators show a crossover from the exponential decay characterizing the hadronic phase to a power-law behavior consistent with nearly free dynamics at T ≃ 2T(c).

Ground State Quarkonium Spectral Functions Above Deconfinement

We discuss the temperature-dependence of S-wave quarkonium spectral functions in a nonrelativistic Green’s function approach and compare these to lattice QCD results.

The bottomonium spectrum at finite temperature from N f = 2 + 1 lattice QCD

We present results on the bottomonium spectrum at temperatures above and below the deconfinement crossover temperature, Tc, from dynamical lattice QCD simulations. The heavy quark is treated with a non-relativistic effective field theory on the lattice and serves as a probe of the hot medium. Ensembles with a finer spatial lattice spacing and a greater range of temperatures below Tc than those ...

Melting of P wave bottomonium states in the quark-gluon plasma from lattice NRQCD

We study the fate of P wave bottomonium states in the quark-gluon plasma, using a spectral function analysis of euclidean lattice correlators. The correlators are obtained from lattice QCD simulations with two light quark flavours on highly anisotropic lattices, treating the bottom quark nonrelativistically. We find clear indications of melting immediately after the deconfinement transition.

Lattice Calculation of Quarkonium Decay Matrix Elements

We calculate the NRQCD matrix elements for the decays of the lowest-lying Sand P-wave states of charmonium and bottomonium in quenched lattice QCD. We also compute the one-loop relations between the lattice and continuum matrix elements. Heavy-quarkonium systems are nonrelativistic. In the CM frame, the average quark velocity v satisfies v 2 ≪ 1, where v 2 ≈ 0.3 for charmonium, and v 2 ≈ 0.1 fo...

Prediction of the bottomonium D-wave spectrum from full lattice QCD.

We calculate the full spectrum of D-wave states in the Υ system in lattice QCD for the first time, by using an improved version of nonrelativistic QCD on coarse and fine "second-generation" gluon field configurations from the MILC Collaboration that include the effect of up, down, strange, and charm quarks in the sea. By taking the 2S-1S splitting to set the lattice spacing, we determine the (3...
