Abstract

We discuss different static quark correlators, including Wilson loops in 2+1 flavor QCD at non-zero temperature and their relation to in-medium quarkonium properties. We present lattice results on static correlation functions obtained with highly improved staggered fermion action and their implications for potential models.
