The QCD static potential at next-to-leading order

Margaret Carrington (Brandon University, Canada)

We calculate the leading and subleading corrections to the real-time static potential in a high-temperature quark-gluon plasma for distances smaller than the screening length. The calculation involves one-loop 2- and 4- point functions in the hard-thermal-loop effective theory. We use our results to estimate the binding energy, the decay width, and the dissociation temperature of the bottomonium ground state. We compare with recent lattice results in the literature.
