Entropic destruction of a moving heavy quarkonium

TL;DR

This paper investigates how entropic forces cause the dissociation of moving heavy quarkonium in a plasma, showing that motion and medium effects facilitate easier destruction compared to static cases, using holographic methods.

Contribution

It introduces a holographic analysis of moving heavy quarkonium dissociation via entropic force, including medium effects through Maxwell charge.

Findings

Entropic force causes easier dissociation of moving quarkonium.

Medium effects, modeled by Maxwell charge, further facilitate dissociation.

Moving quarkonium is more susceptible to destruction than static quarkonium.

Abstract

Recently it has been shown that the peak of the quarkonium entropy at the deconfinement transition is related to the emergent entropic force which destructs the quarkonium. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we consider dissociation of a moving heavy quarkonium by entropic force. We find that the entropic force destructs the moving quarkonium easier than the static case which is expected from perturbative weakly coupled plasma. By considering the Maxwell charge, we study the effect of medium on the destruction of heavy quarkonium. It is shown that the quarkonium dissociates easier in the medium.
