Matter & More in Nuclear Collisions
H. Satz
The aim of high energy nuclear collisions is to study the transition from hadronic matter to a plasma of deconfined quarks and gluons. I review the basic questions of this search a…
Sequential Quarkonium Suppression
S. Digal, P. Petreczky, H. Satz
We use recent lattice data on the heavy quark potential in order to determine the dissociation temperatures of different quarkonium states in hot strongly interacting matter. Our a…
Cluster Percolation and Thermal Critical Behaviour
H. Satz
Continuous phase transitions in spin systems can be formulated as percolation of suitably defined clusters. We review this equivalence and then discuss how in a similar way, the co…
Cluster Percolation and Explicit Symmetry Breaking in Spin Models
Santo Fortunato, Helmut Satz
Many features of spin models can be interpreted in geometrical terms by means of the properties of well defined clusters of spins. In case of spontaneous symmetry breaking, the pha…
Cluster Percolation and First Order Phase Transitions in the Potts Model
S. Fortunato, H. Satz
The q-state Potts model can be formulated in geometric terms, with Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) clusters as fundamental objects. If the phase transition of the model is second order, it…
Quarkonium Feed-Down and Sequential Suppression
S. Digal, P. Petreczky, H. Satz
About 40-50 % of the quarkonium ground states J/psi(1S) and Upsilon(1S) produced in hadronic collisions originate from the decay of higher excitations. In a hot medium, these highe…
String Breaking and Quarkonium Dissociation at Finite Temperatures
S. Digal, P. Petreczky, H. Satz
Recent lattice studies of string breaking in QCD with dynamical quarks determine the in-medium temperature dependence of the heavy quark potential. Comparing this to the binding en…
Cluster Percolation and Pseudocritical Behaviour in Spin Models
Santo Fortunato, Helmut Satz
The critical behaviour of many spin models can be equivalently formulated as percolation of specific site-bond clusters. In the presence of an external magnetic field, such cluster…
