• 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 ...
    • Quantum dynamical dissociation of quarkonia by wave function decoherence in quark-gluon plasma 

      Kajimoto, Shiori; Akamatsu, Yukinao; Asakawa, Masayuki; Rothkopf, Alexander Karl (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02)
      In this study, we investigate the real-time evolution of quarkonium bound states in a quark-gluon plasma in an improved QCD based stochastic potential model. This model describes the quarkonium dynamics in terms of a ...
    • Quarkonium production and suppression: Theory 

      Rothkopf, Alexander Karl (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-01)
      Heavy quarkonium theory has seen significant progress over the past years. Not only has the community steadily improved the understanding of fully equilibrated quarkonium using first principles lattice QCD studies, but it ...
    • Realistic in-medium heavy-quark potential from high statistics lattice QCD simulations 

      Petreczky, Peter; Rothkopf, Alexander Karl; Weber, Johannes Heinrich (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      We present our first results on a direct computation of the complex in-medium heavy quark potential from realistic lattice QCD simulations. Ensembles with Nτ = 12 from the HotQCD and TUMQCD collaboration offer unprecedented ...
