Rapidity Dependence of $J/\psi$ Production at RHIC and LHC

Nuclear Theory 2014-11-20 v1

Abstract

The motion of charmonium in heavy ion collisions is described by a three dimensional transport equation with initial production and continuous regeneration in hot medium. The observation of apparently stronger J/ψJ/\psi suppression at forward rapidity compared to that at midrapidity, so called J/ψJ/\psi puzzle at RHIC, can well be explained by the competition between the two production mechanisms. At LHC, however, the rapidity dependence of the J/ψJ/\psi production is dominated by the regeneration process.
