项目摘要

1 We have constructed the spectral functions at finite temperature for the vector (J/ψ) and axial-vector (η_c) channels made of a charm and anti-charm quark pair from their correlation functions measured on the Euclidean lattices with the maximum entropy method, which was applied systematically to lattice gauge theory for the first time by our group. It was shown that both states continue to exist up to a temperature that is much higher than the QCD phase transition temperature, that is, about 1.6T_c and that they both disappears in a very narrow temperature region, between about 1.6T_c and 1.7T_c This suggests that the quark-gluon plasma is not a state where quarks and gluons are almost freely moving as usually believed, but that it is a strongly coupled system where also hadronic excitations coexists.2 It has been argued that there is possibly a critical end point on the QCD phase diagram, where the order of the phase transition changes from first to crossover We have derived general equations of states with a critical end point on the basis of the universality hypothesis in phase transition theory and found that it acts as an attractor in the course of the time evolution of the system. Furthermore, we discussed for the first time the time evolution of fluctuations and correlation lengths when the system created in high energy heavy ion collisions pass the proximity of the critical end point in the course of its time evolution and their effects on observables in a unified framework.

1 我们根据最大熵法在欧几里德晶格上测量的相关函数，构造了由粲夸克和反粲夸克对组成的矢量（J/ψ）和轴矢量（η_c）通道在有限温度下的谱函数，我们的团队首次将其系统地应用于晶格规范理论，结果表明，在远高于 QCD 相变温度的温度下，这两种状态都继续存在。大约 1.6T_c 并且它们都消失在一个非常狭窄的温度范围内，大约在 1.6T_c 和 1.7T_c 之间这表明夸克-胶子等离子体并不是通常认为的夸克和胶子几乎自由移动的状态，而是强子激发共存的耦合系统。2 有人强烈认为，QCD 相图上可能存在一个关键终点，其中相变的顺序从首先交叉我们根据相变理论中的普遍性假说推导了具有临界终点的一般状态方程，并发现它在系统的时间演化过程中起到了吸引子的作用。此外，我们还讨论了。首次在统一的框架内研究了高能重离子碰撞中产生的系统在其时间演化过程中经过临界终点附近时的涨落和相关长度的时间演化及其对可观测值的影响。
