Behavior of charmonium systems after deconfinement

SDSaumen DattaFKF. KarschPPPéter Petreczky

Key Points

  • This research examines the behavior of charmonium systems in a hot gluonic plasma to understand their stability and modifications post-deconfinement.
  • Studied $q\overline{q}$ systems with quark masses near the charm mass and various spin-parity quantum numbers.
  • Utilized very fine isotropic lattices for analysis of temporal correlators and spectral functions.
  • Analyzed temperature effects up to three times the deconfinement transition temperature (${T}_{c}$).
  • $J/\psi$ and ${\eta}_{c}$ maintain stability up to 1.5${T}_{c}$ with minimal changes.
  • Significant modifications in scalar and axial vector channels occur near ${T}_{c}$.
  • Dissociation of mesons likely occurs around 1.1${T}_{c}$.

Abstract

We present a study of charmonia in hot gluonic plasma, for temperatures up to three times the deconfinement transition temperature T₂. qq systems with quark masses close to the charm mass and different spin-parity quantum numbers were studied on very fine isotropic lattices. The analysis of temporal correlators, and spectral functions constructed from them, shows that the J/ and ₂ survive up to quite high temperatures, with little observable change up to 1. 5T₂, and then gradually weaken and disappear by 3T₂. For the scalar and axial vector channels, serious modifications are induced by the hot medium already close to T₂, possibly dissociating the mesons by 1. 1T₂.
