Description

To fully exploit the high precision data on heavy quarkonium, collected at the LHC in run2 and the ongoing run3, to improve our understanding of hot nuclear matter and the Quark-Gluon plasma, novel observables beyond R_AA and v_2 are called for.

Using the open quantum systems language, recently introduced in the study of in-medium heavy quarkonium [1], we take inspiration from cold atom metrology [2] to design observables, which are optimally sensitive to particular medium properties. Here we report on the construction of optimal observables [3] for bulk temperature, based on the Quantum Brownian Motion Lindblad equation [4].
