• Bottomonium suppression at RHIC and LHC 

      Krouppa, Brandon; Rothkopf, Alexander Karl; Strickland, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02)
      The strong suppression of heavy quarkonia is a good indicator that one has generated a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in an ultrarelativistic heavy ion collision. Recent advancements in first principles calculations of the heavy ...
    • The complex heavy-quark potential in an anisotropic quark-gluon plasma — Statics and dynamics 

      Dong, Lihua; Guo, Yun; Islam, Ajaharul; Rothkopf, Alexander Karl; Strickland, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      We generalize a complex heavy-quark potential model from an isotropic QCD plasma to an anisotropic one by replacing the Debye mass mD with an anisotropic screening mass depending on the quark pair alignment with respect ...
    • Nonequilibrium attractor in high-temperature QCD plasmas 

      Almaalol, Dekrayat; Kurkela, Aleksi; Strickland, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      We establish the existence of a far-from-equilibrium attractor in weakly coupled gauge theory undergoing one-dimensional Bjorken expansion. We demonstrate that the resulting far-from-equilibrium evolution is insensitive ...
    • Perturbative thermal QCD: Formalism and applications 

      Ghiglieri, Jacopo; Kurkela, Aleksi; Strickland, Michael; Vuorinen, Aleksi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      In this review article, we discuss the current status and future prospects of perturbation theory as a means of studying the equilibrium thermodynamic and near-equilibrium transport properties of deconfined QCD matter. We ...
