Spectral properties of quarks above T c in quenched lattice QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze the quark spectral function above the critical temperature for deconfinement in quenched lattice QCD using clover improved Wilson fermions in Landau gauge. We show that the temporal quark correlator is well reproduced by a two-pole approximation for the spectral function and analyze the bare quark mass dependence of both poles as well as their residues. In the chiral limit we find that the quark spectral function has two collective modes which correspond to the normal and plasmino excitations. At large values of the bare quark mass the spectral function is dominated by a single pole.

Strong correlations in hot QCD
After reviewing briefly the basic strategy of analyzing the RHIC data, recent lattice results of the non-pertubative/strong-coupling aspects of quark-gluon plasma probed primarily by the heavy quarks are presented. In particular, free energies of static quarks in various color channels, the Debye screening mass and the spatial string tension above the pseudo-critical temperature are discussed o...
متن کاملSpectral Properties of Quarks in the Quark-Gluon Plasma
We analyze the spectral properties of the quark propagator above the critical temperature for the deconfinement phase transition in quenched lattice QCD using clover improved Wilson fermions. The bare quark mass dependence of the quark spectral function is analyzed by varying the hopping parameter κ in Landau gauge. We assume a two-pole structure for the quark spectral function, which is numeri...

Investigation of the QCD phase transition at finite temperature and density is one of most important subjects in particle and nuclear physics. To create the quark gluon plasma phase (QGP), in which quarks and gluons are deconfined and the chiral symmetry is restored, the high energy heavy ion collision experiments have been performed and the RHIC experiment at BNL is in progress. The J/ψ suppre...
متن کاملThe effect of sea quarks on the mass of the charm quark from lattice QCD UKQCD Collaboration
We compute the mass of the charm quark using both quenched and dynamical lattice QCD calculations. We examine the effects of mass dependent lattice artifacts by comparing two different formalisms for the heavy quarks. We take the continuum limit of the charm mass in quenched QCD by extrapolating from three different lattice spacings. At a fixed lattice spacing, the mass of the charm quark is co...
متن کاملSequential Charmonium Dissociation
Finite temperature lattice QCD indicates that the charmonium ground state J/ψ can survive in a quark-gluon plasma up to 1.5 T c or more, while the excited states χ c and ψ ′ are dissociated just above T c. We assume that the χ c suffers the same form of suppression as that observed for the ψ ′ in SPS experiments, and that the directly produced J/ψ is unaffected at presently available energy den...
