However, the dynamics of heavy quarks in a plasma, and more particularly the possible formation of bound states and their evolution in a plasma, constitute a complicated many-body problem whose many features are not  yet fully understood. In this talk, after a brief review of the experimental situation, I shall present recent  theoretical progress on these issues. See more QHP seminars
