Color screening in quantum chromodynamics

We review lattice studies of the color screening in quark-gluon plasma. put phenomena related to into context similar aspects other physical systems (electromagnetic plasma or cold nuclear matter). discuss onset and its signature significance QCD transition region, elucidate at which temperature extent weak-coupling picture based on hard thermal loop expansion, potential nonrelativistic QCD, dimensionally-reduced quantitatively captures key properties screening. different regimes pertaining dissociation static quarks depth for various spatial correlation functions that are studied lattice, clarify status their asymptotic masses. finally dynamical mesons with a wide range flavor spin content, how they conform expectations low- high-temperature behavior.
