Abstract Details

2018, PHD, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Department of Physics.
In their pioneering work, Matsui and Satz suggested that the hot medium generated in URHICs resulted in color screening for closed charmonium states. Ultimately, their work would go on to suggest that suppression of the J/¿ charmonium state in URHICs would indicate an unambiguous signature for the formation of a new state of matter known as the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). This suppression is due to the formation of the QGP, a state of matter where hadronic particles “melt,” resulting in a sharp increase in the relative number of degrees of freedom. High-energy heavy ion collisions would form the heavy-quark pairs, but the hot QGP around heavy quarkonium states would dampen the exchange gluon and cause the charmonium or bottomonium bound state to dissociate. Dissipative hydrodynamical codes, which describe the full 3+1d evolution of the temperature-like scale and the degree of momentum-space anisotropy, can be used to simulate the background evolution of the hot media generated in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions from just before the formation times of heavy-quarkonia until the plasma becomes free streaming and the QGP “freezes out” into cold matter. Such a dynamical framework is critical, along with an accurate description of heavy quarkonium, to describe charmonium and bottomonium suppression in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions.
