Temperature dependence of heavy meson masses

Abstract

Using a previously derived QCD effective hamiltonian we find the masses of heavy quarkonia states. Non perturbative effects are included through temperature dependent gluonic condensates. We find that even a moderate change in these condensates in a hot hadronic environment (below the deconfining transition) is sufficient to significantly change the heavy meson masses.
