Abstract

J/ψJ/\psi suppression with rapidity is studied with both (3+1) dimensional transport equation and hydrodynamics in details at sNN=2.76\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76 TeV Pb+Pb collisions. In central rapidity region of the hot medium, J/ψJ/\psi nuclear modification factor shows weak rapidity dependence due to the boost invariance of the medium. But in forward rapidity region for entire transverse momentum bin, J/ψJ/\psi regeneration is strongly suppressed due to the decreasing charm pair cross section. This makes J/ψJ/\psi RAA(y)R_{AA}(y) decrease with rapidity. The ratio rAAr_{AA} of mean transverse momentum square in AA collisions to that in pp collisions increases strongly in forward rapidity region and is more sensitive to the J/ψJ/\psi production mechanisms.
