    Aarts, Gert, Allton, Chris, Kim, S., Lombardo, M. P., Ryan, S. M. and Skullerud, Jon-Ivar (2013) Melting of P wave bottomonium states in the quark-gluon plasma from lattice NRQCD. Journal of High Energy Physics, 12 (064). ISSN 1029-8479

    Abstract

    We study the fate of P wave bottomonium states in the quark-gluon plasma, using a spectral function analysis of euclidean lattice cor relators. The correlators are obtained from lattice QCD simulations with two light quark fl avours on highly anisotropic lattices, treating the bottom quark nonrelativistically. We find clear indications of melting immediately after the deconfinement transition.
