Location:  Theory Room         

Speaker:   Joan Soto (Barcelona)

Title:     Non-relativistic bound states in a thermal bath

Abstract: I will describe how to apply effective theory techniques to 
understand the behavior of non-relativistic bound states in a thermal bath. I 
will illustrate the techniques in QED bound states, like the hydrogen and 
muonic hydrogen atoms. Then I will discuss how these results translate to 
heavy quarkonium states in a weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma. In particular, 
I will show how the dissociation temperature can be estimated, and discuss the 
effect of the relative motion with respect to the thermal bath on it.
