2 Why Quarkonia? Charmonia: J/ , ’, c Bottomonia: (1S), (2S), (3S) Key Idea: Melting in the plasma Color screening of static potential between heavy quarks: –J/ suppression: Matsui and Satz, Phys. Lett. B 178 (1986) 416 Suppression of states is determined by T C and their binding energy Lattice QCD: Evaluation of spectral functions T melting –Sequential disappearance of states: Color screening Deconfinement QCD thermometer Properties of QGP H. Satz, HP2006 When do states really melt? T diss ( ’) T diss ( c )< T diss ( (3S)) < T diss (J/ ) T diss ( (2S)) < T diss ( (1S))
