Computation of quarkonium dissociation and recombination rates in quark–gluon plasma using Bateman equation.

The quarkonium yield productions in the relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions and their modifications within the Quark–Gluon Plasma (QGP) produced in the collisions have been investigated for more than four decades. Similarly, phenomenological model studies with various themes have been performed to comprehend the features of the QGP medium along with its associated particle production. This paper proposes a model that combines the effects of color screening, gluon-induced dissociation, and recombination on quarkonium production in heavy-ion collisions involving (Pb + Pb ions) at a center-of-mass energy of ( s NN ) = 5. 0 2 TeV. Unlike the Boltzmann transport rate equations of dissociation and recombination, the rate equations are decoupled and solved individually using a method involving Bateman solution ensuring the dissociation and recombination of heavy quarks within the QGP medium are accounted well.
