title: Quarkonia Free Energy on the lattice and in effective field theories
abstract:
Quarkonia within the quark-gluon-plasma have been suggested as an effective thermometer of the hot QCD medium, as their properties are modified due to color screening and thermal dissociation. I discuss correlation functions of spatially separated static quark-antiquark pairs in (2+1)-flavor QCD in order to elucidate the onset and nature of color screening at high temperatures. I perform lattice calculations in a wide temperature range, 140 < T < 5814 MeV, using the highly improved staggered quark action and several lattice spacings to control discretization effects and compare to results from EFT-resummed weak-coupling approaches
