Resonance Recombination Model for Quarks in the Quark-Gluon Plasma — •Hendrik van Hees1, Lorenzo Ravagli2, and Ralf Rapp2 — 1Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Giessen, Germany — 2Cyclotron Institute and Physics Department, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843-3366, U.S.A.
We investigate a quark-recombination model based on the Boltzmann
equation, assuming the survival of hadron-resonance like correlations in
the sQGP near the hadronisation phase transition. The quark phase-space
distributions are taken from a relativistic Langevin simulation for
quark diffusion in an equilibrated QGP, described by a thermal
elliptically cylindric fireball model, adjusted to the results of
hydrodynamic calculations. The drag and diffusion coefficients are
inferred from leading-order pQCD interactions augmented by effective
Lagrangians with resonances smoothly merging into hadronic states at the
phase transition, consistent with our assumption of resonance
recombination at Tc. This resonance-recombination model, obeying
energy-momentum conservation and leading to thermal equilibrium for the
hadrons, reproduces the observed CQNS of v2(KT) for the here
investigated φ, J/ψ, and D-mesons.
