Static quarks in finite temperature lattice QCD Péter Petreczky Physics Department and RIKEN-BNL Research Center Motivation : the study and interpretation of static meson correlators is much more easier than the analysis of heavy meson correlators ( see talk by T. Umeda ) provide useful non-perturbative input into pNRQCD at T>0 ( see talk by A. Vairo ) Static meson correlators in pure gauge theories A. Bazavov, P.P., A.

Summary The lattice study of the T-dependence of spatial correlators of static quark anti-quark pair shows that singlet and adjoint states are the relevant degrees of freedom at short distances The T-dependence of the correlators does not depend on the details of the operators: the singlet correlators show little T-dependence at short distances, while adjoint correlators show significant T-dependence corresponding to melting of hybrid states at the deconfinement transition. Perturbaton theory can describe many features of static quark anti-quark correlators at high temperatures .
