19. Quarkonium at T>0 from lattice QCD spectral functions

Dr Alexander Rothkopf (Institute for Theoretical Physics, Heidelberg University)

4/8/15, 2:00 PM

invited talk

Heavy quarkonium, the bound states of a heavy quark and antiquark have become precision observables in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC over the past few years. Understanding their dynamical behavior when immersed in a medium will allow us to extract the properties of the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma created in the collision center. Lattice QCD is ideally suited for this task, as it...

39. Dilepton and Quarkonium Measurements in STAR

Frank Geurts (Rice University)

4/8/15, 2:30 PM

invited talk

Dilepton measurements play an essential role in the study of hot and dense nuclear matter. Compared to hadrons, leptons have only little interaction with the strongly interacting system. Thus, dileptons provide ideal penetrating probes that allow the study of such a system throughout its space-time evolution. Depending on the dominating contributions in certain invariant mass ranges, these...

53. The physics of sPHENIX with emphasis on bottomonium

Anthony Frawley (Florida State University)

4/8/15, 3:00 PM

invited talk

Bottomonium is very attractive for studies of screening in the QGP because there are three states of different radii that can all be observed. The proposed sPHENIX detector will make it possible to compare precise bottomonium production data from heavy ion collisions at RHIC with precise data from the LHC, providing an opportunity to study the properties of the Quark Gluon Plasma at quite...
