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…

Shedding Light on (Anti-)nuclei Production with Pion-Nucleus Femtoscopy

Li-Yuan Zhang, Ze-Hua Zhang, Che Ming Ko +6

High-energy nuclear collisions provide a unique environment for synthesizing both nuclei and antinuclei (such as and ) at temperatures ($k_BT\sim1…

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…

In-medium bottomonium properties from lattice NRQCD calculations with extended meson operators

H. -T. Ding, W. -P. Huang, R. Larsen +4

We calculate the temperature dependence of bottomonium correlators in (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD with the aim to constrain in-medium properties of bottomonia at high temperature. The…

Bottomonium Properties in QGP from a Lattice-QCD Informed T-Matrix Approach

Zhanduo Tang, Swagato Mukherjee, Peter Petreczky +1

Recent lattice quantum chromodynamics (lQCD) computations of bottomonium correlation functions with extended sources provide new insights into heavy-quark dynamics at distance scal…

Analysis of Static Wilson Line Correlators from Lattice QCD at Finite Temperature with -matrix Approach

Zhanduo Tang, Swagato Mukherjee, Peter Petreczky +1

We employ a thermodynamic -matrix approach to study Wilson line correlators (WLCs) for a static quark-antiquark pair within the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). By refining earlier det…

-matrix Analysis of Static Wilson Line Correlators from Lattice QCD at Finite Temperature

Zhanduo Tang, Swagato Mukherjee, Peter Petreczky +1

We utilize a previously constructed thermodynamic -matrix approach to the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) to calculate Wilson line correlators (WLCs) of a static quark-antiquark pair a…

Spin-Induced Interactions and Heavy-Quark Transport in the QGP

Zhanduo Tang, Ralf Rapp

A previously constructed -matrix approach for studying the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is improved by incorporating spin-dependent interactions between partons. These interactions…

Spin-Dependent Interactions and Heavy-Quark Transport in the QGP

Zhanduo Tang, Ralf Rapp

We extend a previously constructed T-matrix approach to the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) to include the effects of spin-dependent interactions between partons. Following earlier work w…

Recombination of mesons in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Biaogang Wu, Zhanduo Tang, Min He +1

High-energy heavy-ion collisions have been suggested as a favorable environment for the production of mesons, due to a much larger abundance of charm and bottom quarks compar…

Charmonium, and X(3872) Transport at the LHC

Biaogang Wu, Zhanduo Tang, Min He +1

We deploy a kinetic-rate equation to evaluate the transport of , , and X(3872) in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions and compare their production yields to e…

Baryon number fluctuations and QCD phase structure

Guo-yun Shao, Zhan-duo Tang, Xue-yan Gao +1

We investigate the phase structure of strongly interacting matter and baryon number fluctuations in the Polyakov loop improved Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model. The calculation sho…

Phase transition of strongly interacting matter with a chemical potential dependent Polyakov loop potential

Guo-yun Shao, Zhan-duo Tang, Massimo Di Toro +3

We construct a hadron-quark two-phase model based on the Walecka-quantum hadrodynamics and the improved Polyakov-Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model with an explicit chemical potential depen…
