    Heavy Quarkonium in Extreme Conditions

    Alexander Rothkopf🇳🇴

    In this report we review recent progress achieved in the understanding of heavy quarkonium under extreme conditions from a theory perspective. Its focus lies both on quarkonium properties in thermal equilibrium, as well as recent developments towards a genuine real-time description, valid also out-of-equilibrium. We will give an overview of the theory tools developed and deployed over the last decade, including effective field theories, lattice field theory simulations, modern methods for spectral reconstructions and the the open-quantum systems paradigm. The report will discuss in detail the concept of quarkonium melting, providing the reader with a contemporary perspective. In order to judge where future progress is needed we will also discuss recent results from experiments and phenomenological modeling of quarkonium in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

    Double parton scattering in pA collisions at the LHC revisited

    B.Blok🇮🇱 · F.A. Ceccopieri🇮🇱

    We consider the production of -boson plus dijet, -boson plus b-jets and same sign via double parton scattering (DPS) in collisions at the LHC and evaluate the corresponding cross sections. The impact of a novel DPS contribution pertinent to collisions is quantified. Exploiting the experimental capability of performing measurements differential in the impact parameter in collisions, we discuss a method to single out this novel DPS contribution. The method allows the subtraction of the leading twist (LT) single parton scattering background and it gives access in a very clean way to double parton distribution functions in the proton. We calculate leading twist and DPS cross sections and study the dependence of the observables on the cuts in the jets phase space. In the channel the observation of DPS is possible with data already accumulated in runs and the situation will greatly improve for the next high luminosity runs. For the final state, the statistics within the current data is too low, but there is possibility to observe DPS in this channel in future runs, albeit with much reduced sensitivity than in final state. Finally the DPS observation in the same sign channel will require either significant increase of integrated luminosity beyond that foreseen in next runs or improved methods for reconstruction, along with its charge, in hadronic decay channels.

    Understanding and its decays in the extended Friedrichs scheme

    Meng-Ting Yu🇨🇳 · Zhi-Yong Zhou🇨🇳 · Zhiguang Xiao🇨🇳

    We present that the could be represented as a dynamically generated state in the extended Friedrichs scheme, in which the ratio of "elementariness" and "compositeness" of the different components in the is about . Furthermore, its decays to and a -wave charmonium state with , or , , and could be calculated out with the help of Barnes-Swanson model. The isospin breaking effects is easily understood in this scheme. This calculation also shows that the decay rate of to is much smaller than its decay rate to .
