Charmonium 1P scalar c0 properties modified ~1.1T c Qualitative agreement w/ lattice Datta et al ‘04 Correlator enhanced even though c0 state becomes negligible Enhancement due to thermal shift of the continuum threshold Ágnes Mócsy, Frankfurt The form of the continuum matters sharp smooth

Summary Ágnes Mócsy, Frankfurt Quarkonia melting at T c - proposed sign for deconfinement challenged by lattice data – some quarkonia survives well above T c Increase in correlators – due to threshold decrease lattice doesn’t see Tested w/ different potentials – no qualitative changes in the T-dependence of the correlators First analysis of quarkonia correlators in potential model Can medium effects on heavy quark boundstates be described by potential models? T-dependence of the correlators not in agreement with the lattice Do we miss some physics on the lattice?
