Emergence, Formation and Dynamics of Hot QCD Matter by Scheihing Hitschfeld, Bruno Sebastian

“…The first one is quarkonium transport inside quark-gluon plasma (QGP), the high temperature phase of QCD. Over the past two decades it has been realized that a significant fraction of quarkonium suppression in high energy heavy ion collisions comes from dynamic dissociation and recombination processes, instead of static screening of the interaction potential as originally proposed by Matsui and Satz. …”

Surface wave interactions with submerged horizontal viscoelastic sheets by Sree, Dharma K. K., Mandal, Sourav, Law, Ardrian Wing-Keung

“…For larger submergence, a standing wave pattern with primarily lower order modes develops along the sheet with a significant reduction of transmitted wave energy past the sheet region for shorter period waves. An almost complete cutoff (up to 99% reduction in wave energy transmission) occurs with the flexible sheet held close to the mean water level (MWL), while 50-90% reduction in wave energy transmission is recorded with the stiffer sheets. …”
