J/\psi Suppression in Pb+Pb Collisions: A New Look at Hadrons vs. Plasma

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v3

Abstract

A reexamination of hadronic comover scattering indicates that this mechanism cannot explain the observed ψ\psi suppression in Pb+Pb interactions. The possibility of quark-gluon plasma formation is therefore considered.
