Melting of P wave bottomonium states in the quark-gluon plasma from lattice NRQCD
arXiv:1310.5467 · doi:10.1007/JHEP12(2013)064
Abstract
We study the fate of P wave bottomonium states in the quark-gluon plasma, using a spectral function analysis of euclidean lattice correlators. The correlators are obtained from lattice QCD simulations with two light quark flavours on highly anisotropic lattices, treating the bottom quark nonrelativistically. We find clear indications of melting immediately after the deconfinement transition.
