`Pushing QCD beyond it's breaking point: lattice calculations in the quark-gluon plasma phase'

Abstract:
The FASTSUM Collaboration has calculated several quantities relevant
for QCD studies at non-zero temperature using the lattice
technique. I report here our results for the (i) interquark potential
in charmonium; (ii) bottomonium spectral functions; and (iii)
electrical conductivity. All results were obtained with 2+1 flavours
of dynamical fermions on an anisotropic lattice which allows greater
resolution in the temporal direction. I remark on our analysis technique
which uses the Maximum Entropy Method, a Bayesian statistical method
used in many branches of science and technology, including processing
speed cameras images to read car number plates.
