Abstract in Portuguese
Neste trabalho buscamos explorar os efeitos do campo magnético, criado em colisões de íons pesados não-centrais, em estados ligados. Motivados pelo caso do átomo de hidrogênio, onde a presença do campo magnético deixa o estado mais ligado,estudamos o caso dos mésons B e D. Inicialmente trabalhamos com a equação de Schrödinger e utilizamos o modelo de potencial de Cornell que faz uma boa descrição da espectroscopoia de mésons pesados. Em seguida, utilizando as regras de soma da QCD, procuramos introduzir o efeito do campo magnético no cálculo da massa de mésons. O ponto de partida foi substituir o propagador livre dos quarks pelo propagador de Schwinger, que corresponde ao propagador de um férmion na presença de um campo magnético externo e constante. Tratamos do limite de campo fraco, onde eB « m2 « M2 e o de campo muito forte, onde eB » M2, sendo m a massa do quark leve e M a massa do quark pesado. Em todos os casos observamos uma tendência da queda na massa do méson devido ao campo magnético. Esta mudança poderia ter diversas implicações fenomenológicas, como por exemplo na taxa de produção do quarkonium, que ilustramos utilizando o modelo de evaporação de cor.

Abstract in English
At the present work, we explore the effects of the magnetic field on bound states. Such field is generated by non-central heavy ion collisions. Since the presence of magnetic field results in more deeply bounded states for the hydrogen, we will analyze the cases of mesons B and D. Initially we investigate the Cornell potential in the Schrödinger equation, which is usually a good description of the spectroscopy of heavy mesons. Next, as we examine the model using QCD sum rules, we tried to introduce the magnetic field and its consequences in the meson mass calculation. The starting point was to substitute the free propagator of quarks by the Schwinger propagator, which corresponds to the propagator of a fermion in the presence of an external constant magnetic field. We explored the weak field limit, where eB « m2 « M2 and of very strong fields, where eB » M2, for m being the mass of the light quark and M the mass of the heavy quark. In all cases we observed a trend of decreased meson mass due to the magnetic field. These variations could have many phenomenological implications; for instance, the production rates of quarkonium, illustrated by the method of color evaporation.
