Abstract

We calculated the real and imaginary parts of the static quark-antiquark potential at T > 0 in 2 + 1 flavor QCD using correlators of Wilson lines in Coulomb gauge and lattices with temporal extent N-tau = 12. We find that the real part of the potential is larger than the singlet free energy but smaller than the zero temperature potential. The imaginary part of the potential is similar in size to the perturbative HTL result. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Quarkonium

In particle physics, quarkonium (from quark and -onium, pl. quarkonia) is a flavorless meson whose constituents are a heavy quark and its own antiquark, making it both a neutral particle and its own antiparticle. The name "quarkonium" is analogous to positronium, the bound state of electron and anti-electron. The particles are short-lived due to matter-antimatter annihilation. Vector meson Light quarks (up, down, and strange) are much less massive than the heavier quarks, and so the physical states actually seen in experiments (η, η′, and π0 mesons) are quantum mechanical mixtures of the light quark states.

Quantum chromodynamics

In theoretical physics, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of the strong interaction between quarks mediated by gluons. Quarks are fundamental particles that make up composite hadrons such as the proton, neutron and pion. QCD is a type of quantum field theory called a non-abelian gauge theory, with symmetry group SU(3). The QCD analog of electric charge is a property called color. Gluons are the force carriers of the theory, just as photons are for the electromagnetic force in quantum electrodynamics.

Tetraquark

A tetraquark, in particle physics, is an exotic meson composed of four valence quarks. A tetraquark state has long been suspected to be allowed by quantum chromodynamics, the modern theory of strong interactions. A tetraquark state is an example of an exotic hadron which lies outside the conventional quark model classification. A number of different types of tetraquark have been observed. Several tetraquark candidates have been reported by particle physics experiments in the 21st century.
