Quarkonium transport in weakly and strongly coupled plasmas
Govert Nijs, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Xiaojun Yao
We report on progress in the nonperturbative understanding of quarkonium dynamics inside a thermal plasma. The time evolution of small-size quarkonium is governed by two-point corr…
Generalized Gluon Distribution for Quarkonium Dynamics in Strongly Coupled Yang-Mills Theory
Govert Nijs, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Xiaojun Yao
We study the generalized gluon distribution that governs the dynamics of quarkonium inside a non-Abelian thermal plasma characterizing its dissociation and recombination rates. Thi…
Quarkonium transport in strongly coupled plasmas
Govert Nijs, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Xiaojun Yao
Suppression of open heavy flavors and quarkonia in heavy-ion collisions is among the most informative probes of the quark-gluon plasma. Interpreting the full wealth of data obtaine…
Chromoelectric field correlator for quarkonium transport in the strongly coupled Yang-Mills plasma from AdS/CFT
Govert Nijs, Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Xiaojun Yao
Previous studies have shown that a gauge-invariant correlation function of two chromoelectric fields connected by a straight timelike adjoint Wilson line encodes crucial informatio…
The Present and Future of QCD
P. Achenbach, D. Adhikari, A. Afanasev +400
This White Paper presents the community inputs and scientific conclusions from the Hot and Cold QCD Town Meeting that took place September 23-25, 2022 at MIT, as part of the Nuclea…
Holography in Quark-Gluon Plasma and Neutron Stars
Govert Nijs
In this thesis, QCD is studied from three different directions, with one overarching theme: holography. The holographic duality allows certain strongly coupled QFTs to be described…
Unified weak/strong coupling framework for nuclear matter and neutron stars
Niko Jokela, Matti Jarvinen, Govert Nijs +1
Ab initio methods using weakly interacting nucleons give a good description of condensed nuclear matter up to densities comparable to the nuclear saturation density. At higher dens…
Cool baryon and quark matter in holographic QCD
Takaaki Ishii, Matti Järvinen, Govert Nijs
We establish a holographic bottom-up model which covers both the baryonic and quark matter phases in cold and dense QCD. This is obtained by including the baryons using simple appr…
