Résumé

The FASTSUM collaboration has been carrying out simulations of N-f = 2 + 1 QCD at nonzero temperature in the fixed-scale approach using anisotropic lattices. Here we present the status of these studies, including recent results for electrical conductivity and charge diffusion, and heavy quarkonium (charm and beauty) physics.

Chromodynamique quantique sur réseau

La chromodynamique quantique sur réseau est une approche non-perturbative de la chromodynamique quantique (QCD) qui se base sur une discrétisation de l'espace-temps. C'est une théorie de jauge sur réseau formulée sur une grille ou réseau de points dans l'espace et le temps. Lorsqu'on fait tendre la taille du réseau vers l'infini et la maille du réseau vers zéro, on retrouve le continuum de la QCD. Il est difficile, voire impossible de trouver des solutions analytiques ou perturbatives de la QCD à basses énergies, de par la nature hautement non-linéaire de la force forte.

Quarkonium

In particle physics, quarkonium (from quark and -onium, pl. quarkonia) is a flavorless meson whose constituents are a heavy quark and its own antiquark, making it both a neutral particle and its own antiparticle. The name "quarkonium" is analogous to positronium, the bound state of electron and anti-electron. The particles are short-lived due to matter-antimatter annihilation. Vector meson Light quarks (up, down, and strange) are much less massive than the heavier quarks, and so the physical states actually seen in experiments (η, η′, and π0 mesons) are quantum mechanical mixtures of the light quark states.

QCD matter

Quark matter or QCD matter (quantum chromodynamic) refers to any of a number of hypothetical phases of matter whose degrees of freedom include quarks and gluons, of which the prominent example is quark-gluon plasma. Several series of conferences in 2019, 2020, and 2021 were devoted to this topic. Quarks are liberated into quark matter at extremely high temperatures and/or densities, and some of them are still only theoretical as they require conditions so extreme that they cannot be produced in any laboratory, especially not at equilibrium conditions.
