  1. Strongly coupled plasmas, RIKEN-BNL, December 16-17, 2004 Heavy quarkonium and color screening Dmitri Kharzeev BNL

  2. Outline • QCD and asymptotic freedom • Heavy quarkonium - the hydrogen atom of QCD • Strongly coupled QGP • Heavy quarkonium in sQGP

  3. Constituents of matter

  4. Quarks and the Standard Model Charm and bottom quarks are heavy on typical QCD scale of ~ 200 MeV, and live long enough to form bound states (charmonium and bottomonium)

  5. “November revoluton” The discovery of quarkonium

  6. Heavy quarkonium Why is heavy quarkonium so narrow?

  7. QCD and the “dark mass” of the proton QCD = Quark Model + Gauge Invariance Invariant under scale ( ) and chiral (left <-> right) .i transformations in the limit of massless quarks (u, d) Experiment: quarks are almost massless… … but then… all hadrons must be massless as well! Where does the “dark mass” of the proton come from? Classical scale, UA(1) symmetries broken by quantum effects

  8. QCD and quantum anomalies Classical scale invariance is broken by quantum effects: renormalization introduces a dimensionful parameter, and gives birth to scale anomaly HHHi Hadrons get masses coupling runs with the distance

  9. Asymptotic Freedom At short distances, the strong force becomes weak - anti-screening Gross, Wilczek; Politzer ‘74 Heavy quarkonia are small, R ~ 1/ (M g2), so should be possible to describe by weak coupling methods

  10. Coulomb potential in QCD Spectral representation in the t-channel: If physical particles can be produced (positive spectral density), then unitarity implies screening Gluons Quarks (transverse)

  11. Coulomb potential in QCD - II Missing non-Abelian effect: instantaneous Coulomb exchange dressed by (zero modes of) transverse gluons Negative sign (the shift of the ground level due to perturbations - unstable vacuum! ): Gribov ‘78 Review: Yu.Dokshitzer & DK, hep-ph/0404216 Anti-screening

  12. Screening in Quark-Gluon Plasma These diagrams are enhanced at finite temperature: (scattering off thermal gluons and quarks) This diagram is not: => At high enough T, screening wins

  13. Screening in the QGP T-dependence of the running coupling develops in the non-perturbative region at T < 3 Tc F.Karsch, P.Petreczky et al

  14. Strongly coupled QCD plasma Interactions are important! (the “dark mass” of the Quark-Gluon Plasma) C. Bernard, T.Blum, … F. Karsch, P.Petreczky, ..

  15. Heavy quarkonium as a probe the link between the observables and the McLerran-Svetitsky confinement criterion

  16. Gluo-effect: quarkonium ionization Confined phase - soft gluons (mostly at small x) Deconfined phase - hard gluons k ~ 3 T DK, H.Satz ‘94 effective “gluo-effect” ionization E.Shuryak ‘78 DK, H.Satz, hep-ph/9505345

  17. What mechanism is more important? Strongly coupled regime: DE/T >> 1 Ionization Weakly coupled regime: DE/T << 1 Screening DK, H.Satz, hep-ph/9505345

  18. What mechanism is more important? DK, L.McLerran, H.Satz hep-ph/9504338 Weak coupling: Strong coupling:
