Heavy Quark Diffusion and Lattice Correlators

Abstract

We study charmonia correlators at finite temperature. We analyze to what extent heavy quarkonia correlators are sensitive to the effect of heavy quark transport and whether it is possible to constrain the heavy quark diffusion constant by lattice calculations. Preliminary lattice calculations of quarkonia correlators performed on anisotropic lattices show that they are sensitive to the effect of heavy quark transport, but much detailed calculations are required to constrain the value of the heavy quark diffusion constant.

Based on talks presented on Lattice 2005, Extreme QCD 2005 and Quark Matter 2005, 5 pages, 4 Figures
