The relativistic correction of the quarkonium melting temperature with a holographic potential

TL;DR

This paper investigates how relativistic effects modify the quarkonium melting temperature using a holographic potential derived from AdS/CFT, revealing significant corrections that lower the dissociation temperature.

Contribution

It introduces a relativistic correction to the heavy quark potential within the holographic framework, impacting quarkonium dissociation predictions.

Findings

Relativistic correction significantly reduces the quarkonium dissociation temperature.

The correction is substantial within the coupling range relevant to heavy-ion collisions.

The study highlights the importance of relativistic effects in quarkonium melting models.

Abstract

The relativistic correction of the AdS/CFT implied heavy quark potential is examined within the framework of the potential model. For the typical range of the coupling strength appropriate to heavy-ion collisions, we find the correction is significant in size and lowers the dissociation temperature of quarkonia.
