Abstract

We study the properties of charmonium states at finite temperature in quenched QCD on isotropic lattices. We measured charmonium correlators using non-perturbatively \cO(a)\cO(a) improved clover fermions on fine (a=0.01a=0.01 fm) lattices with a relatively large size of 1283×96128^{3}\times 96, 1283×48128^3\times48, 1283×32128^3\times32 and 1283×24128^3\times24 at 0.73 Tc0.73~T_c, 1.46 Tc1.46~T_c, 2.20 Tc2.20~T_c and 2.93 Tc2.93~T_c, respectively. Our analysis suggests that \Jpsi\Jpsi is melted already at 1.46 Tc1.46~T_c and ηc\eta_c starts to dissolve at 1.46 Tc1.46~T_c and does not exist at higher temperatures. We also identify the heavy quark transport contribution at the spectral function level for the first time.
