On the temperature dependence of quarkonium correlators

Abstract: I discuss the temperature dependence of quarkonium correlators calculated in lattice QCD. I show that the dominant source of the temperature dependence comes from the zero mode contribution, while the the temperature dependence associated with melting of bound states is quite small. I study the zero mode contribution quantitatively for different quark masses and show that it is well described by a quasi-particle model with temperature dependent heavy quark mass. As a byproduct an estimate of the medium depende… Show more

“…[18][19][20][21]. We also emphasise that the use of NRQCD enhances the signature for quarkonium melting/survival, as it avoids several problems which have complicated the study of relativistic quarks in thermal equilibrium [22,23]. In particular, constant contributions associated with transport and susceptibilities [24] …”

“…However, this temperature dependence is due to the zero-mode contribution, i.e., a peak in the finite temperature spectral functions at ω 0 [932,933]. After subtracting the zeromode contribution, the Euclidean correlation functions show no temperature dependence within the uncertainties [934]. Thus melting of the quarkonium states is not visible in the Euclidean correlation functions.…”
