abstract

Lattice QCD studies on fluctuations and correlations of charm quantum number have established that deconfinement of charm degrees of freedom sets in around the chiral crossover temperature, $T_c$, i.e. charm degrees of freedom carrying fractional baryonic charge start to appear. By reexamining those same lattice QCD data we show that, in addition to the contributions from quark-like excitations, the partial pressure of charm degrees of freedom may still contain significant contributions from open-charm meson and baryon-like excitations associated with integral baryonic charges for temperatures up to $1.2~ T_c$. Charm quark-quasiparticles become the dominant degrees of freedom for temperatures $T>1.2~ T_c$.

  1. In-medium bottomonium properties from lattice NRQCD calculations with extended meson operators

    hep-lat 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Bottomonium masses do not shift in the quark-gluon plasma up to 250 MeV, but thermal widths are nonzero and highly sensitive to the assumed spectral function shape.

  2. Generalized susceptibilities and the properties of charm degrees of freedom across the QCD crossover temperature

    hep-lat 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Charm fluctuations from lattice QCD match a hadron resonance gas only when quark-model-predicted charmed hadrons are added, and above the crossover a charm-quark-like partial pressure emerges.
