The dissociation of heavy quarkonia in the constrained space is calculated at leading order compared with that in infinitely large medium. To deal with the summation of the discrete spectrum, a modified Euler-Maclaurin formula is developed…
In an effective field theory framework we review the two main mechanisms of quarkonium dissociation in a weakly coupled thermal bath.
Quarkonia provide a sensitive probe of the properties of the hot dense medium created in high energy heavy ion collisions. Hard scattering processes result in the production of heavy quark pairs that interact with the collision medium…
Quarkonium production in ultra-relativistic collisions plays a crucial role in probing the existence of hot QCD matter. This study explores quarkonia states dissociation and regeneration in the hot QCD medium while considering momentum…
We calculate the dissociation rates of quarkonium ground states by tunnelling and direct thermal activation to the continuum. For hadronic matter at temperatures $T \leq 0.2$ GeV, neither of these mechanisms leads to a sufficiently large…
We describe the hadronization of quark matter assuming that quarks creating hadrons coalesce from a continuous mass distribution. The pion and antiproton spectrum as well as the momentum dependence of the antiproton to pion ratio are…
Charge separation induced by the chiral magnetic effect suggested that some ${\cal P}$- or ${\cal CP}$-odd metastable domains could be produced in a QCD vacuum in the early stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Based on a multi-phase…
We study the effect of a static homogeneous external magnetic field on charmonium and bottomonium states. In an external magnetic field, quarkonium states do not have a conserved center-of-mass momentum. Instead there is a new conserved…

We propose a mechanism for the generation of a magnetic field in the early universe during the QCD crossover assuming that dark matter is made of axions. Thermoelectric fields arise at pressure gradients in the primordial plasma due to the…

The vacuum of Quantum Chromodynamics is a superposition of degenerate states with different topological numbers that are connected by tunneling (the $\theta$-vacuum). The tunneling events are due to topologically non-trivial configurations…
We investigate the Mott effect for heavy quarkonia due to Debye screening of the heavy quark potential in a plasma of massless quarks and antiquarks. The influence of residual color correlation is investigated by coupling the light quark…
Suppression of open heavy quarks and quarkonia in heavy-ion collisions are among the most informative probes of quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Interpreting the full wealth of data obtained from the collision events requires a precise theoretical…
In this work we calculate the lifetime of quarkonium moving with velocity $v$ through a quark gluon plasma at temperature $T$. We also investigate the stability of heavy mesons with respect to the effects of color charge screening. An…
The strong interaction between heavy quarks and the quark gluon plasma makes the open and hidden charm hadrons be sensitive probes of the deconfinement phase transition in high energy nuclear collisions. Both the cold and hot nuclear matter…

There are strong indications that ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions, produced in accelarators, lead to the formation of a new state of matter: the quark gluon plasma (QGP). This deconfined QCD matter is expected to exist just for very…
