Colour Deconfinement and Quarkonium Binding
read the original abstract
At high temperatures, strongly interacting matter becomes a plasma of deconfined quarks and gluons. In statistical QCD, deconfinement and the properties of the resulting quark-gluon plasma can be investigated by studying the in-medium behaviour of heavy quark bound states. In high energy nuclear interactions, quarkonia probe different aspects of the medium formed in the collision. We survey the results of recent charmonium production studies in SPS and RHIC experiments.

Unified Extraction of In-Medium Heavy Quark Potentials from RHIC to LHC Energies via Deep Learning
Deep learning extracts a unified in-medium heavy quark potential from multi-energy bottomonium data, finding the real part close to vacuum Cornell form with weak screening while the imaginary part dominates suppression.

Absorption of 1$P$-wave heavy charmonium $\chi_{c1}(1P)$ in nuclei
Calculations of excitation functions, momentum spectra, and transparency ratios for χ_c1(1P) on 12C and 184W nuclei demonstrate sensitivity to different absorption cross-section scenarios, proposed for extraction via ...
