Charmonium and Bottomonium Quark State Production via Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions: A Review | Chapter 1 | Research Trends and Challenges in Physical Science Vol.3

 This paper examines the generation of heavy quark states in RHIC via relativistic heavy ion collisions. The heavy quarks are c, the charm quark, and b, the bottom quark, in this case. Charmonium meson states (nS) with n=1,2 and upsilon meson states Y(mS) with m=1,2,3 are the states. The approach of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) sum rules is another nonperturbative theory that we used in our review of mixed hybrid heavy quark mesons. The result that the (2S) and Y(3S) are mixed hybrid states with increased production cross sections was obtained using QCD sum rules. We also go through the (nS) and Y(mS) production cross sections via Cu-Cu and Au-Au collisions, which are crucial for understanding how heavy quark states are produced in RHIC. The possibility of detecting Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) is also discussed.
