Studying the production of J/$\psi$ (bound state of charm and anti-charm quark) in proton-proton collisions gives an opportunity to test quantum chromodynamics (QCD) calculations, as the production of J/$\psi$ involves both perturbative and…
At the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) collisions of heavy ions at nucleon-nucleon energies of 200 GeV appear to have created a new form of matter thought to be a deconfined state of the partons that ordinarily are bound in…
Quarkonium is an ideal probe to explore the properties of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Unlike Large Hadron Collider (LHC) measurements, quarkonium production at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has different production…
Using a two-component model for charmonium production, which includes contributions from both the initial hard nucleon-nucleon scattering and from the regeneration in the quark-gluon plasma, we study the nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$…
In relativistic heavy ion collisions, after the quark gluon plasma (QGP) phase there is a hadron gas (HG) phase. In both phases $J/\psi$ may be formed and destroyed. In this note we study the $J/\psi$ interactions with other mesons in the…
At high temperatures, strongly interacting matter becomes a plasma of deconfined quarks and gluons. In statistical QCD, deconfinement and the properties of the resulting quark-gluon plasma can be investigated by studying the in-medium…
Two decades ago Matsui and Satz suggested that Debye screening in the quark-gluon plasma would result in J/psi suppression in heavy ion collisions. Much has happened in the subsequent years, and the picture of quark-gluon plasma at present…
J/psi suppression was proposed more than 25 years ago as an unambiguous signature for the formation of the Quark Gluon Plasma in relativistic heavy ion collisions. After intensive efforts, both experimental and theoretical, the quarkonium…
The experimental results on the pion, strangeness and J/psi production in high energy nuclear collisions are discussed. The anomalous energy dependence of pion and strangeness production is consistent with the hypothesis that a transition…
While heavy ion collisions at the SPS have produced excited strongly interacting matter near the conditions for quark deconfinement, the RHIC may be the first machine capable of creating quark-antiquark plasmas sufficiently long-lived to…
Over the last decade it has been established that a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is formed in ultrarelativistic A+A collisions at RHIC energies. In recent years, detector upgrades have enabled the detailed study of this hot and dense matter.…
A strong $J/\psi$ suppression in central Au+Au collisions has been observed by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). We develop a hydro+$J/\psi$ model in which hot quark-gluon matter is described by the full…
We calculate the bound state properties of $J/\psi$ in a hot and dense QCD plasma using phenomenological potentials augmented by inputs from perturbative QCD. The temperature and density region of study will be relevant in future heavy ion…
