We use gauge/string duality to estimate the Debye screening mass at non-zero temperature and baryon chemical potential. We interpret this mass as the smallest one in the open string channel. Comparisons are made with the results from holography and lattice QCD.
We study correlation functions of spatially separated static quark-antiquark pairs in (2+1)-flavor QCD in order to investigate onset and nature of color screening at high temperatures. We perform lattice calculations in a wide temperature range, $140 \le T \le 5814\,{\rm MeV}$, using the highly improved staggered quark action and several lattice spacings to control discretization effects. By comparing at high temperatures our lattice results to weak-coupling calculations as well as to the zero temperature result for the energy of a static quark-antiquark pair, we observe that color screening s…
We compute---at finite quark chemical potentials---the color screening of cold quark matter at the one-loop level, comparing the normal, BCS-paired U(1)em (or Higgs) phase and a singlet phase with color-singlet condensate near the Fermi surface. The latter phase is computed using the example of two-color QCD with a color-singlet diquark condensate. In contrast to the normal and Higgs phases, neither electric nor magnetic screening masses appear in the singlet phase. The absence of a magnetic mass, within a perturbative framework, is a consequence of the proper treatment of gauge invariance. Wh…
We review lattice studies of the color screening in the quark-gluon plasma. We put the phenomena related to the color screening into the context of similar aspects of other physical systems (electromagnetic plasma or cold nuclear matter). We discuss the onset of the color screening and its signature and significance in the QCD transition region, and elucidate at which temperature and to which extent the weak-coupling picture based on hard thermal loop expansion, potential nonrelativistic QCD, or dimensionally-reduced QCD quantitatively captures the key properties of the color screening. We dis…
Colorelectric and Colormagnetic structure of the flux tubes, connecting heavy quark and antiquark, is investigated in the framework of the Field Correlator method which describes all resulting fields in terms of correlators $D^E$ and $D^E_1$. The latter have been computed via gluelumps, which allows to predict the resulting distribution of color fields $\mathbf{E} (\mathbf{r}),$ and colormagnetic currents $\mathbf{k} (\mathbf{r})$ in the flux tubes. It is shown, that at large distances $r\gg λ\approx 0.2$ fm the whole structure of fields and relations between them is similar to that of the dua…
We use the gauge/gravity correspondence to study the screening of a heavy quark-antiquark pair in various strongly coupled plasmas. Besides N=4 super Yang-Mills theory and the corresponding AdS_5 space we also study theories obtained as deformations of AdS_5, among them in particular a class of deformations solving supergravity equations of motion. We consider the dependence of the screening distance on the velocity and the orientation of the pair in the plasma. The value of the screening distance in N=4 SYM is found to be a minimum in the class of theories under consideration for all kinemati…
The d' dibaryon in the quark-delocalization, color-screening model
在夸克离域色屏蔽模型(QDCSM)下研究了提出的$d' (IJ^P=00^-)$重子的存在性和质量问题。物理基和对称基之间的变换被推广到SU(2)轨道对称性以外的情形。利用由重子性质和$NN$散射确定的参数,我们发现在$IJ^P=00^-$通道中存在一个温和的吸引,但它并不强到足以形成$d'$态的深度束缚态.(同位旋)I=2 N $Δ$构型也没有深度束缚态。这些结果表明,如果窄的双重子$d'$态确实存在,那么它一定具有更复杂的结构。

We have studied the thermal stability of Quarkonia states by computing the effects of color-screening and vacuum screening based on a temperature dependent screened coulomb plus power potential for the quark-antiquark interaction. Medium effects on the properties of charmonia and bottomonia states are studied. The color screening and the vacuum screening effects on the stability of the quarkonia states are also separately calculated for comparison.
We show that a growth of the proton-proton total cross section with energy can be entirely attributed to the purely perturbative mechanism. The infrared regularization at rather short distances, $R_c\simeq 0.3$ fm, allows to extend the BFKL technique from deep inelastic to hadron-hadron scattering. With the account of the absorption corrections our results are in agreement with the LHC data on $σ_{tot}^{pp}$.
The $ND$ and $NB$ systems with $I=0$ and $1$, $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{\pm}$, $\frac{3}{2}^{\pm}$, and $\frac{5}{2}^{\pm}$ are investigated within the framework of quark delocalization color screening model. The results show that all the positive parity states are unbound. By coupling to the $ND^{*}$ channel, the state $ND$ with $I=0,~J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$ can form a bound state, which can be invoked to explain the observed $Σ(2800)$ state. The mass of the $ND^{*}$ with $I=0,~J^{P}=\frac{3}{2}^{-}$ is close to that of the reported $Λ_{c}(2940)^{+}$, which indicates that $Λ_{c}(2940)^{+}$ can be ex…
We present a model to explain the bottomonium suppression in Pb+Pb collisions at mid rapidity obtained from Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energy, $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV. The model consists of two decoupled mechanisms namely, color screening during bottomonium production followed by gluon induced dissociation along with collisional damping. The quasi-particle model (QPM) is used as equation of state (EOS) for the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) medium. The feed-down from higher $Υ$ states, such as $Υ(1P)$, $Υ(2S)$ and $Υ(2P)$, dilated formation times for bottomonium states and viscous effect of QGP me…
Based on the constituent quasiparticle model of quark-gluon plasma (QGP), the matrix elements of the density operator and the Wigner function in the color phase space are presented in form of color path integrals over Wiener and SU(3) group Haar measures. Monte Carlo calculations of quark and gluon momentum distributions and spatial pair distribution functions have been carried out for the strongly coupled QGP plasma in thermal equilibrium at zero baryon chemical potential. The Debye screening mass and the running coupling constant have been obtained from the spatial pair distribution function…
Inspired by the detection of $T_{cc}$ tetraquark state by LHCb Collaboration, we preform a systemical investigation of the low-lying doubly heavy charm tetraquark states with strangeness in the quark delocalization color screening model in the present work. Two kinds of configurations, the meson-meson configuration and diquark-antidiquark configuration, are considered in the calculation. Our estimations indicate that the coupled channel effects play important role in the multiquark system, and a bound state with $J^{P}=1^{+}$ and a resonance state with $J^{P}=0^{+}$ have been predicted. The ma…
We present results for the (color)magnetic and (color)electric screening masses of the Quark-Gluon Plasma in the presence of an external magnetic field. The screening masses are extracted from the correlators of Polyakov loops, determined by lattice QCD simulations at the physical point. We explore temperatures in the range $200\,\mathrm{MeV}\lesssim T\lesssim 330\,\mathrm{MeV}$ and magnetic field intensities up to $|e|B \sim 1.3\,\mathrm{GeV}^2$. We find that both screening masses are increasing functions of the magnetic field and that the dependence on $B$ becomes weaker for larger temperatu…
In this paper we study the interactions among a static quark-antiquark pair in the presence of dense two-color quark matter with lattice simulation. To this end we compute Polyakov line correlation functions and determine the renormalized color averaged, color singlet and color triplet grand potentials. The color singlet grand potential allows us to elucidate the number of quarks induced by a static quark antiquark source, as well as the internal energy of such a pair in dense quark matter. We furthermore determine the screening length, which in the confinement phase is synonymous with the str…
We perform a systemical investigation of the low-lying doubly-heavy dibaryon systems with strange $S=0$, isospin $I=0$, $1$, $2$ and the angular momentum $J=0$, $1$, $2$, $3$ in the quark delocalization color screening model. We find the effect of channel-coupling cannot be neglected in the study of the multi-quark systems. Due to the heavy flavor symmetry, the results of the doubly-charm and doubly-bottom dibaryon systems are similar with each other. Both of them have three bound states, the quantum numbers of which are $IJ=00$, $IJ=02$ and $IJ=13$, respectively. The energies are $4554$ MeV, …
The suppression of heavy quarkonia e.g. $J/ψ$, $Υ$ etc. is considered as a suitable probe to identify the nature of the matter created in heavy ion collisions. Recently we have presented a modified colour screening model for $J/ψ$ suppression in the quark gluon plasma (QGP) using quasiparticle model as the equation of state. In this paper, we extend our model to calculate the anomalous suppression of various states of $Υ$ arising due to QGP medium alone. We obtain the suppression patterns of different bottomonia states with respect to centrality at various available collision energies and comp…
A feasible mechanism of unitarization of amplitudes of deep inelastic scattering at small values of Bjorken $x$ is the gluon fusion. However, its efficiency depends crucially on the vacuum color screening effect which accompanies the multiplication and the diffusion of BFKL gluons from small to large distances. From the fits to lattice data on field strength correlators the propagation length of perturbative gluons is $R_c\simeq 0.2-0.3$ fermi. The probability to find a perturbative gluon with short propagation length at large distances is suppressed exponentially. It changes the pattern of (d…
We modify the McLerran-Venugopalan model to include only a finite number of sources of color charge. We argue that Coulombic interactions between these color charges generates a source-source correlation function that properly includes the effects of color charge screening, a generalization of Debye screening for the Color Glass Condensate. Such a model may be useful for computing angular harmonics of flow measured in high energy hadron collisions for small systems. In this paper we provide a basic formulation of the problem on a lattice.
QCD perturbation theory ignores the compact nature of $SU(3)$ gauge group that gives rise to the periodic $θ$-vacuum of the theory. We propose to modify the gluon propagator to reconcile perturbation theory with the anomalous Ward identities for the topological current in the $θ$-vacuum. As a result, the gluon couples to the Veneziano ghost describing the tunneling transitions between different Chern-Simons sectors of the vacuum; we call the emerging gluon dressed by ghost loops a "glost". We evaluate the glost propagator and find that it has the form $G(p) = (p^2 + χ_{top}/p^2)^{-1}$ where $χ…
We use gauge/string duality to model a heavy quark-antiquark pair in a color singlet moving through a thermal plasma. In particular, we explore the effect of velocity on the string tension and Debye screening mass. Then we apply the results to the analysis of heavy quarkonium bound states. With some assumptions, we estimate the characteristic size of quarkonium and its dissociation temperature.
In the color string picture with fusion and percolation the dependence of the flow coefficients $v_n$ on the transverse momentum is studied for pp collisions the LHC energy respectively. Monte-Carlo simulations are used to locate simple strings and their fused clusters. The results favorably agree with the CMS data in the region $0.2 \le p_t\le 3.$ GeV/c appropriate for the string scenario.
We use gauge/string duality to model a doubly heavy diquark in a color antitriplet moving in a thermal plasma at temperatures near the critical. With the assumption that there is no relative motion between the constituents, we calculate the drag force on the diquark. At high enough speed we find that diquark string configurations develop a cusp. In addition, we estimate the spatial string tension at non-zero baryon chemical potential, and also briefly discuss an extension to a triply heavy triquark in a color triplet.
In the color string picture with fusion and percolation the elliptic and triangular flows are studied for p-Au and d-Au collisions at 200 GeV. The ordering $v_n(d-Au)>v_n(p-Au)$ observed experimentally for central collisions is reproduced.The calculated elliptic flow $v_2$ at central collisions agrees satisfactorily with thedata. The triangular flow $v_3$ is found to be greater than the experimental values, similar to the resultsobtained in the approach based on the Color Glass Condensate initial conditions with subsequenthydrodynamical evolution.
In view of the planning experiments for collisions of light nuclei at RHIC the flow coefficients for O-O, Al-AL and Cu-Cu collisions are studied in the color string percolation model. Our results for $v_2$ are somewhat smaller than predicted by other groups although with the same dependence on centrality. Our obtained $v_3$ lie between predictions of other groups.
The production of ground-state and excited bottomonia in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is investigated within a kinetic-rate equation approach including regeneration. We augment our previous calculations by an improved treatment of medium effects, with temperature-dependent binding energies and pertinent reaction rates, $B$-meson resonance states in the equilibrium limit near the hadronization temperature, and a lattice-QCD based equation of state for the bulk medium. In addition to the centrality dependence of the bottomonium yields we compute their transverse-momentum ($p_T$) spectr…
It is shown that the elliptic flow can be successfully described in the color string picture with fusion and percolation provided anisotropy of particle emission from the fused string is taken into account. Two possible sources of this anisotropy are considered, propagation of the string in the transverse plane and quenching of produced particles in the strong color field of the string. Calculations show that the second source gives an overwhelming contribution to the flow at accessible energies.
Based on the Dyson-Schwinger equation, we compute the resummed gluon propagator in a holonomous plasma that is described by introducing a constant background field for the vector potential $A_{0}$. Due to the transversality of the holonomous Hard-Thermal-Loop in gluon self-energy, the resummed propagator has a similar Lorentz structure as that in the perturbative Quark-Gluon Plasma where the holonomy vanishes. As for the color structures, since diagonal gluons are mixed in the over-complete double line basis, only the propagators for off-diagonal gluons can be obtained unambiguously. On the ot…
Within the color string percolation model (CSPM), jet transport coefficient, $\hat{q}$, is calculated for various multiplicity classes in proton-proton and centrality classes in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the Large Hadron Collider energies for a better understanding of the matter formed in ultra-relativistic collisions. $\hat{q}$ is studied as a function of final state charged particle multiplicity (pseudorapiditydensity at midrapidity), initial state percolation temperature and energy density. The CSPM results are then compared with different theoretical calculations from the JET Collabora…
Inspired by the states $T_{c\bar{s}0}^{a}(2900)^{0}$ and $T_{c\bar{s}0}^{a}(2900)^{++}$ reported by the LHCb Collaboration, we carry out a systematical investigation of the charm-strange pentaquark system using resonance group method in the quark delocalization color screening model. The present results predict the existence of some bound states and resonance states with support from the study of the mass spectrum and the decay properties. Both $Σ_{c}^{\ast}K^{\ast}$ with $I(J^{P})=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{5}{2}^{-})$ and $ΔD_{s}^{\ast}$ with $I(J^{P})=\frac{3}{2}(\frac{5}{2}^{-})$ are bounded by cha…
We point out that if a certain variant of "Quirks", particles that carry ordinary color and some other color' exist, then we can have a completely novel and efficient mode of long distance communications and of acceleration to very high energies. For very low scale $Λ'$ the scale of the new gauge group in the theory, and associated string tension of the new color' the Quirks can be captured in ordinary materials. Having then the Quirk Q' and anti-Quirk $\bar{Q}'$ in two separate piezoelectric crystals at arbitrarily far out points A and B allows Alice and Bob at these locations to communicate …
