We study the effect of magnetic field on heavy quark-antiquark pair in both Einstein-Maxwell(EM) and Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton(EMD) model. The interquark distance, free energy, entropy, binding energy and internal energy of the heavy quarkonium are calculated. It is found that the free energy suppresses and the entropy increases quickly with the increase of the magnetic field $B$. The binding energy vanishes at smaller distance when increasing the magnetic field, which indicates the quark-antiquark pair dissociates at smaller distance. The internal energy which consists of free energy and entropy will increase at large separating distance for non-vanishing magnetic field. These conclusions are consistent both in the EM and EMD model. Moreover, we also find that the quarkonium will dissociate easier in the parallel direction than that in the transverse direction for EMD model, but the conclusion is opposite in EM model. Lattice results are in favor of EMD model. Besides, a Coulomb-plus-linear potential(Cornell potential) can be realized only in EMD model. Thus, a dilaton field is proved to be important in holographic model. Finally, we also show that the free energy, entropy and internal energy of a single quark in EMD model with the presence of magnetic field.
In a transient magnetic field, heavy quarkonium bound states evolve non adiabatically. In presence of a strong magnetic field, $J/Psi$ and $Upsilon(1S)$ become more tightly bound than we expected earlier for a pure thermal medium. We have shown that in a time varying magnetic field, there is a possibility of moderate suppression of $J/Psi$ through the non adiabatic transition to continuum where as the $Upsilon(1S)$ is so tightly bound that can not be dissociated through this process. We have calculated the dissociation probabilities up to the first order in the time dependent perturbation theory for different values of initial magnetic field intensity.
We have extended the calculation of the correlation functions of heavy quarkonium hybrid operators with various $J^{PC}$ quantum numbers to include QCD condensates up to dimension six. In contrast to previous analyses which were unable to optimize the QCD sum-rules for certain $J^{PC}$, recent work has shown that inclusion of dimension six condensates stabilizes the hybrid sum-rules and permits reliable mass predictions. In this work we have investigated the effects of the dimension six condensates on the remaining channels. After performing the QCD sum-rule analysis, we update the mass spectra of charmonium and bottomonium hybrids with exotic and non-exotic quantum numbers. We identify that the negative-parity states with $J^{PC}=(0, 1, 2)^{-+}, 1^{--}$ form the lightest hybrid supermultiplet while the positive-parity states with $J^{PC}=(0, 1)^{+-}, (0, 1, 2)^{++}$ belong to a heavier hybrid supermultiplet, confirming the supermultiplet structure found in other approaches. The hybrid with $J^{PC}=0^{--}$ has a much higher mass which may suggest a different excitation of the gluonic field compared to other channels. In agreement with previous results, we find that the $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ charmonium hybrid is substantially heavier than the X(3872), which seems to preclude a pure charmonium hybrid interpretation for this state.
In a recent paper (arXiv:1912.02253), Rothkopf claims that the Bryan method, which is widely used to obtain the solution in the maximum entropy method and makes use of the singular value decomposition of a matrix, limits the search space for the solution. He even presents a counterexample to the Bryan method. In this comment, we first recapitulate the mathematical basis of the Bryan method, and reconfirm that it makes use of no approximations and that it is therefore mathematically rigorous. In the second part, we explicitly show that Rothkopfs ``counterexample actually does not constitute a counterexample on the basis of the definition of singular value decomposition itself.
Heavy quarkonium production in ultraperipheral nuclear collisions is described within the QCD dipole formalism. Realistic quarkonium wave functions in the rest frame are calculated solving the Schrodinger equation with a subsequent Lorentz boost to high energy. We rely on several selected $Qbar Q$ potentials, which provide the best description of quarkonium spectra and decay widths, as well as data on diffractive electroproduction of quarkonia on protons. Nuclear effects are calculated with the phenomenological dipole cross sections fitted to DIS data. Higher twist effect related to the lowest $Qbar Q$ Fock component of the photon, as well as the leading twist effects, related to higher components containing gluons, are included. The results for coherent and incoherent photoproduction of charmonia and bottomonia on nuclei are in a good accord with available data from the recent UPC measurements at the LHC. They can also be verified in future experiments at the planned electron-ion colliders.
We summarize recent developments in heavy quarkonium spectroscopy, relying on previous review articles for the bulk of material available prior to mid-2010. This note is intended as a mini-review to appear in the 2012 Review of Particle Physics published by the Particle Data Group.
