%0 Journal Article %T Upsilon Dissociation in Quark-Gluon Plasma %A Sidi Cherkawi Benzahra %J Physics %D 1999 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevC.61.064906 %X I consider the dissociation of the upsilon meson due to absorption of a thermal gluon. I discuss the dissociation rate in terms of the energy density, the number density, and the temperature of the quark-gluon plasma. I compare this to the effect due to screening. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9904231v2
