1.) Introduction Empirical evidence for sQGP at RHIC: - thermalization / low viscosity (low p T ) - energy loss / large opacity (high p T ) - quark coalescence (intermed. p T ) Heavy Quarks as comprehensive probe: - p T regimes connected via underlying HQ interaction? - strong coupling: perturbation theory unreliable, resummations required - simpler(?) problem: heavy quarkonia ↔ potential approach - similar interactions operative for elastic heavy-quark scattering? transport in QGP, hadronization PRELIMINARY Run-4 Run-7 resonance model [van Hees, Greco+RR ’05] minimum-bias

4.) Summary and Conclusions T-matrix approach with lQCD internal energy (U QQ ): - S-wave charmonia survive up to T diss ≤ 2.5T c - finite width can suppress J/  well below T diss ! T-matrix for (elastic) heavy-light scattering: - large c-quark width + small diffusion - “hadronic” correlations dominant (meson + diquark) - maximum strength close to T c ↔ minimum in  /s ? - naturally merges into quark coalescence at T c Open problems + challenges: - potential approach/definition, heavy-quark masses - radiative processes, light-quark sector - observables (open charm/bottom, quarkonia, dileptons,…)
