Finite volume effects on quarkonium dissociation temperature in an impenetrable QGP sphere

Abstract

The system of a quarkonium confined by an impenetrable spherical cavity filled with a hot quantum chromodynamics (QCD) medium is studied by solving the Schrödinger equation. This is the first time this issue has been raised for discussion. The Schrödinger equation with an appropriate boundary condition of a quarkonium in an impenetrable cavity filled with a hot medium is derived. The numerical results are obtained with the help of Gaussian Expansion Method. Binding energies and radii of the ground and low-excited states are obtained as a function of the medium temperature and the cavity radius. We find the behaviour of quarkonium in this cavity is different from that in infinite space. Our results show that the quarkonium dissociation temperature decreases as the cavity radius decreases and the finite volume effects on the ground state are more obvious than on the excited states. We also find that the less mass of the constituents and the bigger radius of the quarkonium lead the finite volume effects to become more obvious.
