Study of Quark-Gluon Plasma by suppression of heavy quarkonium

Abstract

With this work we want to know the conditions in which is originated the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) from the collision between two atoms of lead. This QGP will act as a medium, in which a meson formed by charm or bottom quarks will move with a constant momentum pT . We approach this study from two points of view: the first one from the perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (that will define the weakly coupling regime) and the other one from the point of view of AdS/CFT theories (it will introduce some aspects from holography and it will work in the strongly coupling regime). The nuclear modification factor ,RAA, will be the focus of our study, and will give us information about the probability of creating bound states within the plasma. To compute RAA we will make use of the Glauber geometrical modeling for collisions
