Content
Heavy vector mesons provide important information about the quark gluon plasma (QGP) formed in heavy ion collisions. This happens because the fraction of quarkonium states that are produced depends on the properties of the medium. The intensity of the dissociation process in a plasma is affected by the temperature, the chemical potential and the presence of magnetic fields. These effects have been studied by many authors in recent years. Another important factor that can affect the dissociation of heavy mesons, and still lacks of a better understanding, is the rotation of the plasma. Non-central collisions form a plasma with angular momentum. In this work, we use a holographic model to investigate the thermal spectrum of bottomonium quasi-states in a rotating medium in order to describe how a non-vanishing angular velocity affects the dissociation process.
