Description
Heavy ion collision experiments at the LHC and RHIC seek to create and observe a new state of matter, the long-theorized quark gluon plasma (QGP). The behavior of heavy quarks and their in medium bound states are predicted to serve as a probe of the QGP; specifically, this in medium behavior is governed by transport coefficients which are currently the focus of experimental and theoretical study. In this talk, I will detail recent progress using modern effective field theories of the strong interaction, namely potential nonrelativistic QCD (pNRQCD), to extract the heavy quark momentum diffusion coefficient, kappa, and its dispersive counterpart, gamma, and to derive the evolution of heavy quarkonia in medium.
