Charmonium is an attractive system for the application of lattice QCD methods. While the sub-threshold spectrum has been considered in some detail in previous works, it is only very recently that excited and higher-spin states and further…

Lattice studies of charmonium systems have indicated that in a deconfined gluonic plasma ground state charmonia survive as bound states upto temperatures \~ 2 Tc. After surveying the methodologies used in reaching these results, we examine…
We investigate E1 radiative transitions within charmonium in a relativistic approach based on light-front QCD. In quantum field theory, two sets of processes are pure E1: $\chi_{c0} \to J/\psi \gamma$ ($\psi\to \chi_{c0}\gamma$) and $h_c…

We report the continuum limits of the speed of sound, c_s, and the specific heat at constant volume, c_v, in quenched QCD at temperatures of 2Tc and 3Tc. At these temperatures, c_s is within 2-sigma of the ideal gas value, whereas c_v…

Charmonium spectroscopy with Kogut-Susskind valence quarks are carried out for quenched QCD at $\beta=6.0$ and for two-flavor full QCD at $\beta=5.7$. Results for 1P--1S mass splitting and estimates of $\alpha^{(5)}_{\overline{MS}}(m_Z)$…
To study the stability of heavy quarkonia in quark-gluon plasma, we use a color-singlet Q-Qbar potential determined previously to be a well-defined linear combination of the free energy F_1 and the internal energy U_1. Using the lattice…

We study bottomonium spectral functions in the quark-gluon plasma in the Upsilon and eta_b channels, using lattice QCD simulations with two flavours of light quark on highly anisotropic lattices. The bottom quark is treated with…
Properties of $2^{-+}$ charmonium $\eta_{c2}$ are investigated in quenched lattice QCD. The mass of $\eta_{c2}$ is determined to be 3.80(3) GeV, which is close to the mass of $D$-wave charmonium $\psi(3770)$ and in agreement with quark…

In order to explore the spectrum of hidden-charm scalar and tensor resonances, we study meson-meson scattering with $J^{PC}=0^{++}, 2^{++}$ in the charmonium energy region using lattice QCD. Employing a light-quark mass corresponding to…
