Description

The diffusion of a heavy quarkonium in a strongly interacting plasma can be described, using a nonrelativistic effective field theory formalism, in terms of transport coefficients related to the correlators of color electric fields connected by adjoint Wilson lines. These transport coefficients are important for the calculation of quarkonia suppression in the plasma. We present a lattice calculation of these correlators with the gradient flow for the SU(3) gluon plasma and extract the relevant transport coefficients.
