Description
The FASTSUM collaboration has been carrying out lattice simulations of QCD for
temperatures ranging from one third to twice the critical temperature,
investigating the chiral and deconfining aspects of the transition, as well as
the properties of the Quark Gluon Plasma.
In this contribution we concentrate
on spectral functions and on some of the associated transport
coefficients. We work in a fixed scale scheme and use anisotropic lattices
which help achieving the desirable fine resolution in the temporal direction,
thus facilitating the (ill posed) integral transform from imaginary time to
frequency space. We study the pattern of sequential dissociation for
charmonium and bottomonium, and analyse the temperature dependence of the
masses and width of the surviving states. The results are obtained with a
physical strange mass, a pion mass of 400 MeV, and a lattice spacing of
0.12 fm. Simulations at the physical pion mass and with a finer lattice spacing are in progress and their status might be reported as well.
