Abstract: (arXiv)
We analyze the low frequency part of charmonium spectral functions on large lattices close to the continuum limit in the temperature region 1.5T/Tc31.5\lesssim T/T_c\lesssim 3 as well as for T0.75TcT \simeq 0.75T_c. We present evidence for the existence of a transport peak above TcT_c and its absence below TcT_c. The heavy quark diffusion constant is then estimated using the Kubo formula. As part of the calculation we also determine the temperature dependence of the signature for the charmonium bound state in the spectral function and discuss the fate of charmonium states in the hot medium.
