Open heavy-flavor transport and hadronization in heavy-ion collisions
Yu Fu, Tharun Krishna, Weiyao Ke +2
We develop a comprehensive model for heavy-quark evolution in a realistic QGP, from their production in the initial collision to hadronic freeze-out. Heavy-quark transport is descr…
Semiclassical treatment of bottomonium suppression and regeneration in collisions
Sabin Thapa, Biaogang Wu, Ramona Vogt +1
We study bottomonium suppression in relative to collisions at center-of-mass energies of and 8.16~TeV. Specifically, we combine cold nucle…
Nonperturbative Heavy-Flavor Transport Approach for Hot QCD Matter
Tharun Krishna, Ralf Rapp, Yu Fu +2
The heavy charm and bottom quarks are unique probes of the transport properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and its hadronization in high-energy nuclear collisions. A key chall…
Quark Recombination
Rainer J. Fries, Vincenzo Greco, Ralf Rapp
Hadronization is a fundamental process occurring at a distance scale of about , hence within non-perturbative dynamics. In elementary collisions, li…
Non-perturbative quarkonium dissociation rates in strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma
Biaogang Wu, Zhanduo Tang, Ralf Rapp
Heavy quarks and quarkonia are versatile probes of the transport properties of the hot QCD medium produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions (URHICs). A robust description…
Quarkonium Spectroscopy in the Quark-Gluon Plasma
Zhanduo Tang, Biaogang Wu, Andrew Hanlon +3
The properties of bound states are fundamental to hadronic spectroscopy and play a central role in the transition from hadronic matter to a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). In a strongly…
