Quarkonium Production in Heavy Ion Collisions: From Open Quantum System to Transport Equation
arXiv:2002.04079 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2020.121854
Abstract
Using the open quantum system formalism and effective field theory of QCD, we derive the Boltzmann transport equation of quarkonium inside the quark-gluon plasma. Our derivation illuminates that the success of transport equations in quarkonium phenomenology is closely related to the separation of scales in the problem.
