Scientists study how Bc mesons form to gain more information from ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions - EurekAlert


Scientists use collisions of heavy ions to produce quark-gluon plasma containing large numbers of the heavy charm and bottom quarks. The recombination of freely moving charm and bottom quarks facilitates the production of Bc mesons. In this study, researchers carried out theoretical simulations of charm and bottom quarks diffusing through the quark gluon plasma and found that these quarks’ recombination can enhance the production of Bc mesons.
