Melting of quarkonium in an anisotropic hot QCD medium in the presence of a generalized Debye screening mass and Nikiforov–Uvarov’s method

Abstract

Generalized temperature and anisotropy dependent Debye screening mass is introduced into the real part of a potential in an anisotropic plasma. The N-radial Schrödinger equation (SE) is approximately solved by using the Nikiforov–Uvarov (NU) method which based on the expansion of power series. Binding energies and dissociation temperatures of charmonium and bottomonium are calculated. In addition, we have calculated the screening mass values for different parameters. Comparing to their values in an isotropic medium, the charmonium and bottomonium binding energies within an anisotropic medium are found to be increased. Also, the dissociation temperatures of both the charmonium and the bottomonium within anisotropic environments appear larger relative to those found within an isotropic medium. Finally, one observes that in any medium the bottomonium dissociation temperature is higher than the charmonium one.
