Abstract

We study J/ΨJ/\Psi absorption in high multiplicity proton-proton (pp) collisions at sNN=7\sqrt {s_{NN}}=7\,TeV. We predict a modification of the J/ΨJ/\Psi-yield within the UrQMD transport approach, where explicit interactions of the J/ΨJ/\Psi with the surrounding comovers and a prehadronic phase with adjusted cross sections and J/ΨJ/\Psi melting is included. We present the analog of the nuclear modification factor in pp collisions at various charged particle multiplicities. It turns out that J/ΨJ/\Psi-Mesons may be suppressed towards higher particle multiplicities in pp collisions at LHC energies.
