Drag force near the QCD critical point
Yukinao Akamatsu, Masayuki Asakawa
We discuss how heavy quark dynamics is affected by the critical fluctuations near the QCD critical point at finite temperature and density. We find that the heavy quark momentum di…
Simulation of Lindblad equations for quarkonium in the quark-gluon plasma
Takahiro Miura, Yukinao Akamatsu, Masayuki Asakawa +1
We study the properties of the Lindbladian quantum mechanical evolution of quarkonia with non-Abelian charges (color-singlet and octet) in the quark-gluon plasma. We confirm that h…
Dynamics of in-medium quarkonia in SU(3) and SU(2) gauge theories
Yukinao Akamatsu, Masayuki Asakawa, Shiori Kajimoto
Decoherence dynamics of quarkonia is studied in the high-temperature deconfined phase of SU() gauge theories. In particular, we analyze the symmetry properties of SU() st…
Issues with Search for Critical Point in QCD with Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
Masayuki Asakawa, Masakiyo Kitazawa, Berndt Müller
A systematic search for a critical point in the phase diagram of QCD matter is underway at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and is planned at several future facilities. I…
Quantum Brownian motion of a heavy quark pair in the quark-gluon plasma
Takahiro Miura, Yukinao Akamatsu, Masayuki Asakawa +1
In this paper we study the real-time evolution of heavy quarkonium in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) on the basis of the open quantum systems approach. In particular, we shed light o…
Dynamically Integrated Transport Approach for High-Energy Nuclear Collisions at High Baryon Density
Koichi Murase, Yukinao Akamatsu, Masayuki Asakawa +6
To explore the structure of the QCD phase diagram in high baryon density domain, several high-energy nuclear collision experiments in a wide range of beam energies are currently pe…
