Hadron Correlators in the Deconfined Phase
Abstract
Temporal meson correlators and their spectral functions are calculated in the deconfined phase using the hard thermal loop resummation technique. The spectral functions exhibit strong medium effects coming from the hard thermal loop approximation for the quark propagator. The correlators, on the other hand, do not differ significantly from free correlators, for which bare quark propagators are used. This is in contrast to lattice calculations showing a clear deviation from the free correlations functions.
