Heavy Quark Interactions and Quarkonium Binding

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-01-15 v2

Abstract

We consider heavy quark interactions in quenched and unquenched lattice QCD. In a region just above the deconfinement point, non-Abelian gluon polarization leads to a strong increase in the binding. Comparing quark-antiquark and quark-quark interaction, the dependence of the binding on the separation distance rr is found to be the same for the colorless singlet QQˉQ\bar Q and the colored anti-triplet QQQQ state. In a potential model description of in-medium J/ΨJ/\Psi behavior, this enhancement of the binding leads to a survival up to temperatures of 1.5 TcT_c or higher; it could also result in J/ΨJ/\Psi flow.
