Overview of Potential models at finite temperature P é ter Petreczky

1. Overview of Potential models at finite temperature Péter Petreczky Physics Department and RIKEN-BNL • Brief history : • Potential models with screening and quarkonium dissociation in the quark gluon plasma (1986-2003): • J/psi melts at T<1.2Tc, Upsilon melts at T~2Tc, excited charmonium states melt around Tc • (Matsui, Satz, 1986, ….) • Lattice calculations of quarkonium correlators and spectral functions (2003-2006): • J/psi survives till T~1.6Tc, Upsilon does not melt, excited charmonium states melt around Tc • (Umeda 2002, Asakawa, Hatsuda, 2003, Datta et al, 2003) • Role of zero mode contribution and threshold enhancement (2006-2008) : • zero mode contribution mock melting of 1P quarkonium states(Umeda , 2006, Mocsy, P.P, 2007), • threshold enhancement leads to almost T-independent quarkonium correlators ( Mocsy, P.P, 2007) QWG2008, Nara, December 2-5, 2008

9. Quarkonium binding energy and thermal width Using lattice data on the static quark anti-quark free energy in 2+1f QCD the binding energy of different quarkonium states can be estimated Kharzeev, McLerran, Satz, PLB356 (95) 349 Mócsy, P.P., PRL 99 (07) 211602

10. Quarkonium binding energy in different models Alberico et al, PRD72 (05) 114011 binding energy decreases with T, but there are large uncertanties from modeling of V

11. Quarkonium width in different models Park et al, PRC76 (07) 044907 Zhao, Rapp, PLB664 (08) 253 NLO pQCD + in-medium binding energy quasi-free dissociation in-medium binding energy quark gluon Reduced binding energy => larger width; thermal width increases with T above deconfinement

12. Spectral functions with complex potential Burnier, Laine, Vepsalainen JHEP 0801 (08) 043 The imaginary part of the potential washes out the bound state peak making it a mere threshold enhancement even for b-quarks ! Large threshold enhancement is observed

13. Summary • Lattice and perturbative calculations show that in-medium modification of the potential • is sufficiently strong to lead to quarkonium dissociation in the deconfined phase • Residual interaction of quark and anti-quark are important threshold enhancement very small T-dependence of Euclidean correlators conclusions reached in lattice calculations of the Euclidean correlators and spectral functions about the survival of 1S state (Umeda et al, 2002; Asakawa, Hatsuda, 2003, Datta et al, 2003) were premature ! MEM is not sufficiently accurate • Potential model calculations based on lattice results on singlet free energy reproduce the temperature (in)dependence of the Euclidean time correlators Crosscheck : threshold enhancement effects weaken with decreasing quark masses  larger T-dependence for quarkonium correlators (consistent with lattice calculations of Datta et al) • Lattice calculations based on “wave function method” indicate survival of charmonium • states till 2.3Tc (Umeda et al, 2000, 2008) • Problems :even highly excited states, e.g. 2P states survive to such high T • the notion of well defined states is problematic due to finite width effect • Crosscheck : consider the light quark case where no bound states are expected, c.f. lattice • calculations of fluctuations of conserved charges.

14. Outlook • Combine EFT techniques in the weak coupling regime with available lattice • data on the static meson correlators to obtain a reliable potential model type • of framework with all medium effect included. • Calculate charm fluctuations to find the relevant degrees of freedom : bound • states or free quark. Determine the quasi-particle properties at high T • Extend the lattice “wave function analysis” to light quark sector to check the • consistency of the approach
