Top quark mixed hybrid meson and the quark-gluon plasma

摘要

Using the method of QCD sum rules, we estimate the energy of lowest energy top quark meson state with a hybrid admixture. This new estimate uses the previous estimates of hybrid charmonium and upsilon states, but with the mass of the top quark mass being much greater than the charm and bottom quark masses. We discuss production of mixed hybrid top quark mesons and possible detection of the creation of the quark-gluon plasma via relativistic heavy ion collisions.
