Using novel lattice (non-relativistic) QCD techniques, we will present results pertaining to the fate of Υ(1S), Υ(2S) and Υ(3S) in QGP. We will present results on how the masses of these states change with temperature, as well as how their spatial sizes change. Finally, we will also show new lattice QCD results on the heavy quark potential from Wilson lines.

We investigate the medium induced fragmentation of jets in a high-temperature QCD plasma.

The energy loss of heavy quarks propagating through the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is expected to transit from an elastic regime at low and intermediate momenta to a radiative regime at high momenta. For the latter, a significant amount of energy dissipates by radiating rather soft gluons that can strongly interact with the surrounding medium through non-perturbative many-body effects. In order...

Heavy quarks are predominantly produced at the early stages of relativistic heavy-ion collisions before the formation of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) medium. Heavy quarks subsequently traverse the QGP throughout its whole evolution, and thus are suggested as excellent probes to study the properties of the QGP. Theory predicts heavy quarks lose less energy than light quarks through gluon...

Away from the strictly soft and collinear limit of QCD radiation the choice of evolution scale in a parton shower algorithm is ambiguous and several options have been implemented in existing Monte Carlo event generators for proton-proton collisions [1].

Interactions between hard partons and the quark-gluon plasma range from frequent soft interactions to rare hard interactions. While it is reasonable that hard interactions can be described perturbatively, soft interactions likely suffer from significant non-perturbative effects. Since the effect of the soft interactions can be encoded into parton transport coefficients, these non-perturbative...

Electroweak bosons can be used to constrain the kinematics, as well as the flavor, of the recoiling parton, before its interaction with the quark-gluon plasma. While photons are more abundant, they suffer from larger systematic uncertainties, particularly at low transverse momentum ($p_\mathrm{T}$), from the background photons from neutral meson decays.

Transverse momentum broadening and energy loss of a propagating parton are dictated by the space-time profile of the jet transport coefficient $\hat q$ in dense QCD medium. Spatial gradient of $\hat q$ perpendicular to the propagation direction can lead to a drift and asymmetry in parton transverse momentum distribution.
