Quarkonium masses in a hot QCD medium using conformable fractional of the Nikiforov–Uvarov method
By using the conformable fractional of the Nikiforov–Uvarov (CF–NU) method, the radial Schrödinger equation is analytically solved. The energy eigenvalues and corresponding functions are obtained, in which the dependent temperature potential is employed. The effect of fraction-order parameter is studied on the heavy-quarkonium masses such as charmonium and bottomonium in a hot QCD medium in the 3D and the higher-dimensional space. This paper discusses the flavor dependence of their binding energies and explores the nature of dissociation by employing the perturbative, nonperturbative, and the lattice-parametrized form of the Debye masses in the medium-modified potential. A comparison is studied with recent works. We conclude that the fractional-order plays an important role in a hot QCD medium in the 3D with consideration of a form of the Debye mass.
