Quarkonia are some of the most important probes of the medium created in relativistic heavy ion collision experiments, but it is still difficult to get quantitative results for its behavior in the plasma. Here I discuss the decay width of a…
We derive here the equation of state for quark matter with a nontrivial vacuum structure in QCD at finite temperature and baryon density. Using thermofield dynamics, the parameters of thermal vacuum and the gluon condensate function are…

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…

Using gauge/gravity duality, we first study the string breaking and melting of doubly heavy baryon at a finite chemical potential and temperature in this paper. The decay mode $\rm{Q Q q \rightarrow Q q q+Q \bar{q}}$ is investigated with…
In relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC, a quark gluon plasma (QGP) is created for a short duration of about 10fm/c. Quarkonia (bound states of $c\bar{c}$ and $b\bar{b}$) are sensitive probes of this phase on length scales…

We consider the dissociation of heavy quarkonium in a medium close to thermal equilibrium but with a small momentum space anisotropy. Dissociation is defined to take place when the width of the ground state equals its binding energy. We…

Quarkonium at temperatures above deconfinement is modeled as an open quantum system, whose dynamics is determined not just by a potential energy and mass, but also by a drag coefficient which characterizes its interaction with the medium.…
