J/psi suppression in heavy ion collisions by quark momentum diffusion

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v3 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

The momentum diffusion effect of the quark pair due to the multiple scattering in a nuclear medium is studied to explain the observed J/psi yields in SPS experiments. The resulting suppression is found to be insufficient to reproduce the J/psi yield in Pb-Pb collisions at SPS energy.
