98% of the mass in the universe is made during the QGP transition The Higgs boson only provides a small • fraction of the mass of observed hadronic matter. Most of the mass around us emerges • from the strong force. Figure courtesy B. Muller Bashir et al, Commun. Theor. Phys. 58 (2012) 79-134. Logarithmic scale M. Strickland 8

Some Key Experimental Observables Collective Flow – flow of the matter provides evidence of collectivity in the QGP • and allows us to extract transport coefficients like the shear viscosity Jet Quenching – effects of plasma interactions on high-energy particle • propagation; provides information about momentum diffusion and energy loss of partons in the QGP Suppression of heavy quarkonia – provides information about screening and • bound state survival in the QGP Electromagnetic Radiation – high energy photons and dileptons provide • information about initial conditions Particle spectra across species – provides information about the degree to which • final particle distributions are thermalized Multiparticle correlations such as Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) interferometry – • provides information about the size of the QGP and collective flow profiles M.

Why bottomonia in AA? • Can reliably use heavy quark effective theory • Cold nuclear matter (CNM) effects in AA decrease with increasing quark mass • The masses of bottomonia (~ 10 GeV) are much higher than the temperature (T < 1 GeV) generated in HICs à bottomonia production A. Mocsy, P. Petreczky, and MS, 1302.2180 dominated by initial hard scatterings • Since bottom quarks and anti-quarks are relatively rare in LHC HICs, the probability for regeneration of bottomonia through statistical recombination is much smaller than for charm quarks [see e.g. E. Emerick, X. Zhao, and R. Rapp, arXiv:1111.6537] M. Strickland 18

Heavy quark effective theory Name Mass Electric Charge Normally, for QCD bound • [GeV/c 2 ] states one needs a fully relativistic treatment Up u 0.0024 +2/3 If the quark mass is • Down d 0.0048 -1/3 sufficiently high then one can Strange s 0.104 -1/3 take the “heavy quark limit” This reduces the problem to • Charm c 1.27 2/3 having to deal with a non- Bottom b 4.2 -1/3 relativistic terms plus Top t 171.2 2/3 relativistic corrections M. Strickland 19

How well does this work? As the table to the right • shows, it works quite well Maximum error in the • masses of the bottomonium sates is 0.22% J. Alford and MS, 1309.3003 M. Strickland 20

Debye-screening in a plasma Screening of electric interaction with screening length A test charge polarizes the particles of the plasma and r D = 1/m D they “screen” its charge V Coloumb ( r ) = − α V Debye ( r ) = − α r e − m D r − → r Peter Debye The same phenomena that occurs in an • 1884 - 1966 electric plasma occurs in the QGP A screening mass m D ~ gT is generated by • strong interactions of quarks and gluons M.

In-medium breakup (decay) rates • In addition to Debye screening, which reduces the effective coupling between quarks and antiquarks, the states also acquire a temperature dependent breakup rate (width) which increases as the temperature increases. • Primarily, heavy quark bound states breakup via strong processes which result in the quark/antiquark becoming unbound inside of the QGP, e.g. Landau damping , collisional disassociation , etc. M.
