Description
The Remler formalism provides a framework for the Wigner projection of a two-particle state onto bound states. This projection is implemented either at the onset of bound-state formation or during in-medium scattering of one of the constituent particles. This approach has been successfully applied to quarkonium production in both box simulations and heavy-ion collisions.
In the present study, the formalism is extended to strongly bound states with substantial binding energies by explicitly incorporating the potential energy between heavy quark pairs in the quark–gluon plasma (QGP).
Our results indicate that an attractive heavy-quark potential significantly enhances quarkonium production. Furthermore, the results are consistent with those obtained from statistical models in box simulations, provided that an appropriate spatial cutoff is introduced in the potential to effectively account for quantum effects.
