NCKU Researchers Observe "Sequential Melting" of Upsilon Particles in Gold Nuclei Collisions

TAINAN, Taiwan, April 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The strong (nuclear) interaction in particle physics is described by quantum chromodynamics (QCD), a framework in which protons and neutrons are no longer the degrees of freedom but are instead replaced by their constituents, namely quarks, and gluons, particles that mediate the strong nuclear force. The strong nuclear force, in fact, does not allow quarks to exist (and, in turn, to be observed) freely, a phenomenon commonly known as "quark confinement." However, at extremely high temperature and energy densities, such as those prevailing in the Early universe, these quarks and gluons can exist freely in the form of a "soup" known as "quark-gluon plasma" (QGP). Such a "quark deconfinement" can, in fact, be reproduced in high-energy collisions of heavy ions, such as gold, uranium, and lead.

Key Points: 
  • Such a "quark deconfinement" can, in fact, be reproduced in high-energy collisions of heavy ions, such as gold, uranium, and lead.
  • Heavy quarkonium states, such as the bottomonium or Upsilon particles, are considered to be a particularly clean (low noise) signature of sequential melting.
  • In a new study published in Physical Review Letters , researchers at RHIC belonging to the STAR Experiment Collaboration reported, for the first time, the observation of sequential melting of Upsilon states in gold nuclei collisions.
  • The results, consistent with the sequential melting pattern, showed how three distinct Upsilon states were suppressed at different levels.
