Quarkonium Production in Heavy Ion Collisions: From Open Quantum System to Transport Equation (2002.04079v2)
Published 10 Feb 2020 in hep-ph and nucl-th
Abstract: Using the open quantum system formalism and effective field theory of QCD, we derive the Boltzmann transport equation of quarkonium inside the quark-gluon plasma. Our derivation illuminates that the success of transport equations in quarkonium phenomenology is closely related to the separation of scales in the problem.
