Title: Toward an effective theory of quarkonium production nuclear matter

Abstract

These proceedings are dedicated to Miklos Gyulassy's 70th birthday. In his long and distinguished career he has made seminal contributions to many areas of heavy ion theory, including early papers on quarkonium phenomenology in fixed-target heavy ion experiments. Theoretical and experimental studies of the J/ψ and Υ states have evolved considerably in the past decades, and I describe a recent generalization of non-relativistic Quantum Chromodynamics to include interactions in a generic nuclear medium. NRQCD with Glauber gluons aims to provide a universal microscopic description of the interaction of heavy quarkonia in a range of phases that include cold nuclear matter, dense hadron gas, and quark-gluon plasma. Such effective field theory is an important step toward understanding the common trends in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus data on quarkonium suppression.

An effective theory of quarkonia in QCD matter

Journal Article Makris, Yiannis ; Vitev, Ivan Mateev - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

For heavy quarkonia of moderate energy, we generalize the relevant successful theory, non-relativistic Quantum Chromodynamics (NRQCD), to include interactions in nuclear matter. The new resulting theory, NRQCD with Glauber gluons, provides for the first time a universal microscopic description of the interaction of heavy quarkonia with a strongly interacting medium, consistently applicable to a range of phases, such as cold nuclear matter, dense hadron gas, and quark-gluon plasma. The effective field theory we present in this work is derived from first principles and is an important step forward in understanding the common trends in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus data on quarkoniummore » suppression.« less

Proceedings of RIKEN BNL Research Center Workshop: Brookhaven Summer Program on Quarkonium Production in Elementary and Heavy Ion Collisions

Technical Report Dumitru, A ; Lourenco, C ; Petreczky, P ; ...

Understanding the structure of the hadron is of fundamental importance in subatomic physics. Production of heavy quarkonia is arguably one of the most fascinating subjects in strong interaction physics. It offers unique perspectives into the formation of QCD bound states. Heavy quarkonia are among the most studied particles both theoretically and experimentally. They have been, and continue to be, the focus of measurements in all high energy colliders around the world. Because of their distinct multiple mass scales, heavy quarkonia were suggested as a probe of the hot quark-gluon matter produced in heavy-ion collisions; and their production has been onemore »« less

Prospects for quarkonium studies at the high-luminosity LHC

Journal Article Chapon, Émilien ; d’Enterria, David ; Ducloué, Bertrand ; ... - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics

In this work, prospects for quarkonium-production studies accessible during the upcoming high-luminosity phases of the CERN Large Hadron Collider operation after 2021 are reviewed. Current experimental and theoretical open issues in the field are assessed together with the potential for future studies in quarkonium-related physics. This will be possible through the exploitation of the huge data samples to be collected in proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions, both in the collider and fixed-target modes. Such investigations include, among others, those of: (i) J/ψ and Υ produced in association with other hard particles; (ii) χ_c,b and η_c,b down to small transverse momenta;more »« less

Recent Measurements of Heavy Quarkonium Production in Au+Au, p+Au and p+p Collisions at STAR

Journal Article Liu, Yanfang - Nuclear Physics. A

Heavy quarkonia are useful probes of the quark-gluon plasma, where quarkonium dissociation is expected at high enough temperature. Indeed, such a suppression is clearly present in the latest STAR measurements of J/ψ production in Au+Au collisions. The suppression is observed to have little dependence on p_T, although cold-nuclear matter (CNM) effects, such as shadowing, anti-shadowing and nuclear absorption can play a significant role at low p_T. Measurements of the J/ψ production in p+A collisions can help us to disentangle the CNM effects from the hot medium effects in A+A collisions. In these proceedings, we will present the measurement of J/ψmore »« less

Overview of quarkonium production studies at the STAR experiment

Conference Kosarzewski, Leszek - J.Phys.Conf.Ser.

Quarkonium states can be used to study the properties of the quark-gluon plasma created in heavy-ion collisions. However, Cold Nuclear Matter (CNM) effects need to be taken into account when interpreting the quarkonium suppression observed in these collisions. In addition, the quarkonium production mechanism in elementary collisions need to be better understood. These proceedings contains an overview of recent quarkonium measurements with the STAR experiment. A comprehensive study of both J/ψ and Υ production is performed in different colliding systems (p+p, p+Au, Au+Au).
