Theory of Heavy Flavor in the Quark-Gluon Plasma

Abstract

Heavy-quark interactions in the Quark-Gluon Plasma are analyzed in terms of a selfconsistent Brueckner scheme using a thermodynamic T-matrix based on a potential model. The interrelations between quarkonium correlators, spectral functions and zero-modes, and open heavy-flavor transport and susceptibilities are elaborated. Independent constraints from thermal lattice QCD can be used to improve predictions for heavy-quark phenomenology in heavy-ion collisions.
