Quarkonium inside the quark-gluon plasma: Diffusion, dissociation, recombination, and energy loss
Abstract
We consider the quarkonium diffusion, dissociation, and recombination inside quark-gluon plasma. We compute scattering amplitudes in potential nonrelativistic QCD for relevant processes. These processes include the gluon absorption/emission at the order gr, inelastic scattering at the order g2r, and elastic scattering with medium constituents at the order g2r2. We show these amplitudes satisfy the Ward identity. We also consider one-loop corrections. The dipole interaction between the color singlet and octet is not running at the one-loop level. Interference between the tree-level gluon absorption/emission and its thermal loop corrections cancels the collinear divergence in the t -channel inelastic scattering. The inelastic scattering has no soft divergence because of the finite binding energy of quarkonium. We write out the diffusion, dissociation, and recombination terms explicitly for a Boltzmann transport equation and define the dissociation and recombination rates. Furthermore, we calculate the diffusion coefficient of quarkonium. We find our result of the diffusion coefficient differs from a previous calculation by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude. Lastly, we explain this and can reproduce the previous result in a certain limit. Finally, we discuss two mechanisms of quarkonium energy loss inside quark-gluon plasma.
