Quarkonium in non-zero isospin chemical potential environment at $T \simeq 0$
Abstract
We study how the isospin asymmetry affects quarkonium states in QCD at near zero temperature. Using lattice Non-Relativistic QCD formalism, we calculate bottom quark correlators in the gauge field ensembles generated with flavors of dynamical staggered quarks whose dynamics include the isospin chemical potential effect and then construct and wave quarkonium state correlators. From these quarkonium correlators, we consider the ratios of quarkonium correlators at non-zero isospin chemical potential to that at . Here, the gauge field ensemble with and on a lattice with non-zero isospin current strength and , where MeV and fm from \cite{Brandt:2022hwy}, are used. Preliminary results suggest that for , the Upsilon mass gets heavier than the Upsilon mass in the vacuum and that below the isospin asymmetry effect on the Upsilon mass is not monotonic.
