Charmonium properties in hot quenched lattice QCD

We study the properties of charmonium states at finite temperature in quenched QCD on large and fine isotropic lattices. We perform a detailed analysis of charmonium correlation and spectral functions both below and above $T_c$. Our analysis suggests that both S wave states ($J/\psi$ and $\eta_c$) and P wave states ($\chi_{c0}$ and $\chi_{c1}$) disappear already at about $1.5 T_c$. The charm diffusion coefficient is estimated through the Kubo formula and found to be compatible with zero below $T_c$ and approximately $1/\pi T$ at $1.5 T_c\lesssim T\lesssim 3 T_c$.

Charmonium dissociation and heavy quark transport in hot quenched lattice QCD

We study the properties of charmonium states at finite temperature in quenched lattice QCD on large and fine isotropic lattices. We perform a detailed analysis of charmonium correlation and spectral functions both below and above Tc. Our analysis suggests that the S wave states disappear at about 1.5 Tc. The charm diffusion coefficient is estimated and found to be approximately 1/{\pi}T at 1.5Tc {\leq} T {\leq} 3Tc.

On the momentum dependence ofJ/? suppression

The formation of deconfined matter in high energy collisions is expected to result in reducedJ/ψ production. The finite space-time extension of any quark-gluon plasma thus produced leads to a rather characteristic dependence ofJ/ψ suppression on the longitudinal and transverse momentum of theJ/ψ. We study in particular the longitudinal momentum dependence and discuss its implications for nuclear collision experiments.
