J/Psi Propagation in Hadronic Matter

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v2 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We study J/ψ\psi propagation in hot hadronic matter using a four-flavor chiral Lagrangian to model the dynamics and using QCD sum rules to model the finite size effects manifested in vertex interactions through form factors. Charmonium breakup due to scattering with light mesons is the primary impediment to continued propagation. Breakup rates introduce nontrivial temperature and momentum dependence into the J/ψ\psi spectral function.
