Bottomonium transport in the sQGP at RHIC and the LHC
Biaogang Wu, Jacob Boyd, Ralf Rapp
Bottomonium transport is studied in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC by implementing a kinetic rate equation into (3+1)D viscous hydrodynamic simulations of an expanding qu…
Toponium Spectrum in the Complex-Energy Plane
Zhanduo Tang, Oliver Fast, Ralf Rapp
The electroweak decay width of the top quark of ~2 GeV is comparable to binding energies expected for the toponium system, raising the long-standing question of whether top and ant…
Coupled charm and charmonium transport in a strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma
Kaiyu Fu, Biaogang Wu, Ralf Rapp
The quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is a strongly coupled medium in which both open and hidden charm particles experience substantial nonperturbative interactions. This poses a major chal…
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…
Bottomonium transport in a strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma
Biaogang Wu, Ralf Rapp
Quarkonium production in high-energy heavy-ion collisions remains a key probe of the quark-gluon plasma formed in these reactions, but the development of a fully integrated nonpert…
