Effective field theories for heavy probes of hot plasma

The research of this project deals with the development and the formal construction of new effective field theories for the study of heavy probes production and properties in collider and cosmological environments. In particular we build on the results obtained in the first period of this project to investigate an effective theory description for quarkonium suppression inside a strongly coupled QCD plasma as well an effective field theory treatment for the thermal production of beyond the standard model particles in a hot plasma, the related CP asymmetries and the impact on leptogenesis studies.
