Abstract

The strength of the force between heavy quarks is studied for heavy quarkonium ($\mathrm{Q\bar{Q}}$) and doubly heavy baryons ($\mathrm{QQq}$) at finite temperature and rapidity using the gauge/gravity duality in this paper. The strength of the interaction is defined as an effective running coupling $\alpha$ from lattice. By considering the $\mathrm{Q\bar{Q}}$ and $\mathrm{QQq}$ moving through the thermal quark-gluon plasma, we find that the interaction of heavy quarks for $\mathrm{Q\bar{Q}}$ is small and remains almost constant when $L<0.2\,\mathrm{fm}$. The strength of the interaction for $\mathrm{QQq}$ is always less than that for $\mathrm{Q\bar{Q}}$ and approaches a constant when $L<0.4\,\mathrm{fm}$. The $\alpha$ and the maximum of effective running coupling $\tilde{\alpha}$ for both $\mathrm{Q\bar{Q}}$ and $\mathrm{QQq}$ decrease with increasing temperature or rapidity. Through comparison, we find that $\mathrm{QQq}$ is more sensitive to changes in temperature and rapidity, and the interaction force between quarks is always less than that of $\mathrm{Q\bar{Q}}$, indicating that $\mathrm{Q\bar{Q}}$ is more stable than $\mathrm{QQq}$ in the presence of temperature and rapidity.
