Abstract
Pion dissociation in a medium of hot quark matter is studied. The decay width of pion is found to be large but finite at temperatures much higher than the so called critical temperature of chiral or deconfinement transition. Consequently, pions should coexist with quarks and gluons at such high temperatures. The result is in agreement with the lattice calculations. The implication of the above result in the study of Quark-Gluon plasma is discussed.
