Prerequisites for heavy quark coalescence in heavy-ion collisions
read the original abstract
The coalescence model assumes instant formation of a bound state from unbound particles based on the overlapping of two states in spatial and momentum spaces and quantum numbers. Therefore, applied to the hadronization of partons, it provides a snapshot of a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) just before hadronization. We use the coalescence model for the formation of the ground state of open heavy flavor and the statistical model for heavier states. Assuming that all heavy flavors in thermal equilibrium hadronize through the coalescence, we find that the QGP just before hadronization is not composed of completely randomized partons but must have strong correlations in color charges as well as in momentum and/or coordinate spaces between heavy quark and light (anti-)quark.
