We study vacuum masses of charmonia and the charm-quark diffusion coefficient in the quark-gluon plasma based on the spectral representation for meson correlators. To calculate the correlators, we solve the quark gap equation and the inhomogeneous Bethe–Salpeter equation in the rainbow-ladder approximation. It is found that the ground-state masses of charmonia in the pseudoscalar, scalar, and vector channels can be well described. For 1.5Tc<T<3.0Tc, the value of the diffusion coefficient D is comparable with that obtained by lattice QCD and experiments: 3.4<2πTD<5.9. Relating the diffusion coefficient with the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density η/s of the quark-gluon plasma, we obtain values in the range 0.09<η/s<0.16.
Quarkonia, i.e. bound states of bb‾ and cc‾ quarks, are powerful observables to study the properties of nuclear matter under extreme conditions. The formation of a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), which is predicted by lattice QCD calculations at high temperatures as reached at the LHC energies, has a strong influence on the production and behavior of quarkonia. The latest ALICE results on bottomonium and charmonium production in nucleus−nucleus collisions are presented. This includes measurements of the ϒ(1S) and ϒ(2S) nuclear modification factor (RAA) at forward rapidity and the J/ψ RAA and ν2 as a function of centrality, pT and rapidity in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=5.02TeV. Also, first results from J/ψ measurements in Xe–Xe collisions at sNN=5.44TeV are presented. Further on, the experimental results are compared to various calculations from theoretical models.
