We consider quarkonium in a hot QCD plasma which, due to expansion and non-zero viscosity, exhibits a local anisotropy in momentum space. At short distances the heavy-quark potential is known at tree level from the hard-thermal loop…
In the leading $O(\alpha_s^4)$ order of the perturbative QCD, the hadronic production cross-sections of $S$- and $P$-wave states of $B_c$ meson are calculated. The results for the $S$-wave levels are compared with the values given in other…
