Longitudinal and transverse meson correlators in the deconfined phase from the lattice

TL;DR

This paper investigates meson correlation functions at non-zero momentum in the deconfined quark-gluon plasma phase using lattice QCD and the Maximum Entropy Method, revealing insights into hadron behavior above the transition temperature.

Contribution

It applies the Maximum Entropy Method to analyze meson correlators at non-zero momentum in the deconfined phase, providing new insights into hadron properties in high-temperature QCD.

Findings

Meson correlators show modifications in the deconfined phase

Maximum Entropy Method effectively extracts spectral functions at non-zero momentum

Results contribute to understanding hadron unbinding above the transition temperature

Abstract

It has long been known that QCD undergoes a deconfining phase transition at high temperature. One of the consequent features of this new, quark-gluon phase is that hadrons become unbounded. In this talk meson correlation functions at non-zero momentum are studied in the deconfined phase using the Maximum Entropy Method.
