Recent developments in heavy flavor probes in lattice QCD

The analysis of heavy flavor lattice correlation functions to obtain insights into transport phenomena and bound state dissociation patterns is a difficult and interesting challenge from the point of view of lattice QCD spectroscopy. In this contribution to "Hard Probes 2015", the recent developments and advances from different lattice efforts to determine the relevant spectral properties will be reviewed and discussed. The difficulties underlying this line of research will be highlighted and the obtained results assessed. Among others, results on the dissociation of charm systems and bottomon…

Non-perturbative determination of collisional broadening and medium induced radiation in QCD plasmas

We supply recently obtained results from lattice EQCD with the correct UV limit to construct the collisional broadening kernel $C(b_\perp)$ in a QCD plasma. We discuss the limiting behavior of $C(b_\perp)$ at small and large impact parameters $b_\perp$, and illustrate how the results can be used to compute medium-induced radiation rates.

Excited and exotic bottomonium spectroscopy from lattice QCD

We explore the spectrum of excited and exotic bottomonia using lattice QCD. Highly excited states are identified with masses up to 11,000 MeV, many of which can be grouped into supermultiplets matching those of the quark model while exotic spin--parity--charge-conjugation quantum numbers $J^{PC}=0^{+-},\,1^{-+},\,2^{+-}$ that cannot be formed from $\bar{q}q$ alone are also identified. Single-meson operator constructions are used that have good $J^{PC}$ in the continuum, these are found to overlap well onto heavy quark states with $J\le4$. A continuum $J^{PC}$ is assigned to each level, based o…

Complete O(v^2) corrections to the static interquark potential from SU(3) gauge theory

For the first time, we determine the complete spin- and momentum-dependent order v^2 corrections to the static interquark potential from simulations of QCD in the valence quark approximation at inverse lattice spacings of 2-3 GeV. A new flavor dependent correction to the central potential is found. We report a 1/r^2 contribution to the long range spin-orbit potential V_1'. The other spin-dependent potentials turn out to be short ranged and can be well understood by means of perturbation theory. The momentum-dependent potentials qualitatively agree with minimal area law expectations. In view of…

Quarkonium correlation functions at finite temperature in the charm to bottom region

Quarkonium correlation functions at finite temperature were studied in a region of the quark mass for charmonia to bottomonia in quenched lattice QCD with $O(a)$-improved Wilson quarks. Our simulations were performed on large isotropic lattices at temperatures in the range from about 0.80$T_c$ to 1.61$T_c$. We investigated quarkonium behavior in terms of temperature dependence as well as quark mass dependence of the quarkonium correlation functions and related quantities at both vanishing and finite momenta.

In-medium P-wave quarkonium from the complex lattice QCD potential

We extend our lattice QCD potential based study arXiv:1509.07366 (JHEP 1512 (2015) 101) of the in-medium properties of heavy quark bound states to P-wave bottomonium and charmonium. Similar to the behavior found in the S-wave channel their spectra show a characteristic broadening, as well as mass shifts to lower energy with increasing temperature. In contrast to the S-wave states, finite angular momentum leads to the survival of spectral peaks even at temperatures, where the continuum threshold reaches below the bound state remnant mass. We elaborate on the ensuing challenges in defining quark…

Thermal Width Broadening of the 0++ Glueball Spectrum near Tc

We study the 0++ glueball correlator constructed with SU(3) anisotropic quenched lattice QCD at various temperature taking into account the possible existence of the thermal width in the ground-state peak. For this purpose, we adopt the Breit-Wigner ansatz, analysing the lattice data obtained with 5,500-9,900 gauge configurations at each T. The results indicate the significant thermal width broadening as Gamma(Tc) \sim 300 MeV with a reduction in the peak center as Delta omega_0(Tc) \sim 100 MeV in the vicinity of the critical temperature Tc.

Heavy hadrons on $N_f=2$ and $2+1$ improved clover-Wilson lattices

We present the masses of singly ($B$, $B_s$, $Λ_b$, $Σ_b$, etc.), doubly ($B_c$, $η_b$, $Υ$, $Ξ_{bc}$, $Ξ_{bb}$, etc.), and triply ($Ω_{bcc}$, $Ω_{bbc}$, $Ω_{bbb}$, etc.) heavy hadrons arising from (QCDSF-UKQCD) lattices with improved clover-Wilson light quarks. For the bottom quark, we use an $O(a,v^4)$-improved version of lattice NRQCD. Part of the bottomonia spectrum is used to provide an alternative scale and to determine the physical quark mass and radiative corrections used in the heavy-quark action. Results for spin splittings, opposite parities, and, in some cases, excited states are p…

The Thermal Glueball at Finite Temperature in SU(3) Anisotropic Lattice QCD

The thermal glueball is studied at finite temperature by using SU(3) anisotropic lattice QCD with beta_{lat}=6.25, the renormalized anisotropy xi = a_s/a_t = 4 over the lattice of the size 20^3xN_t with various N_t at the quenched level. While the narrow peak ansatz leads to the significant polemass reduction of about 300 MeV near the critical temperature T_c, Breit-Wigner ansatz which can take into account the possible appearance of the thermal width leads to the significant thermal width broadening of about 300 MeV with a modest reduction of the peak center of about 100 MeV.
