Temperature dependence of bottomonium correlators No T-dependence as expected for 1S state Little supprise ! Expected: Qualitatively similar T-dependence for different lattice spacings Petrov, Velytsky, P.P, work in progress
Conclusions non-perturbative even in the deconfined phase Interaction between quark and anti quark are strong and non-perturbative even in the deconfined phase The 1P state charmonia dissolve at The lattice data support a picture of gradual dissolution of ground state charmonia starting at and no states are present at 1P bottomonium state dissolve around . What determines the Dissociation temperature quantum numbers or system size ? Future challenge : better control of lattice artifatcs,
Discussions Considerable progress in study of quarknium at finite temperature in lattice QCD but the problem of cut-off effects and systematic errors in MEM is not settled Completely. Better actions (perfect actions, NRQCD for bottomonium) Extension to full QCD. Lattice spacing dependence of
Dependence of the spectral functions on number of data points Resolution problem for bottomonium NRQCD What is the thermal width of quarkonium states ?
Quarkonium formation in the medium : Evidence for very large energy density (jet quenching, hydro, multiplicities ), fast equilibrization (hydro) Quarkonium may be formed inside a high density medium in-medium quarkonium binding has to be understood. Can be quarkonium used as thermometer ? Experimental input: measure quarkonium production as function of pT and y in AA with pp and dA baseline. Measure chi_b ? To what is extent potential model can be used at T>0 (ok at T=0). Can one calculate reliably the quarkonium width perturbatively ? Wong, hep-ph/0408020
