Charm hadrons above $T_c$

Abstract

From the analysis of the lattice data on fluctuations and correlations of charm we conclude that open charm meson and baryon-like excitations exist above the QCD crossover temperature, and in fact are the dominant degrees of freedom for thermodynamics in the vicinity of the transition. Charm quarks become the dominant charm degrees of freedom only for temperatures T>200 MeV.
