Abstract

The yield of J/ψJ/\psi per binary nucleon-nucleon collision in AuAuAuAu and CuCuCuCu collisions at s=200\sqrt{s} = 200 GeV is computed in the framework of the dual parton model, supplemented with final state interaction (comovers interaction). For the latter we use the same value of the cross-section, σco=0.65\sigma_{co} = 0.65 mb, which describes the anomalous J/ψJ/\psi suppression observed at CERN-SPS energies. Several possibilities for the value of the absorptive cross-section are considered. Shadowing is introduced in both the comovers and the J/ψJ/\psi yields. A comparison with the results at CERN-SPS, including a prediction for InInInIn collisions, is also presented.
