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…
The J/psi-hadron interaction is a key ingredient in analyzing the J/psi suppression in hot hadronic matter as well as the propagation of J/psi in nuclei. As a first step to clarify the J/psi-hadron interactions at low energies, we have…
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…
The anomalous J/psi suppression in Pb-Pb collisions at 158A GeV observed recently by NA50 can be explained as due to the transition to a new phase of strong J/psi absorption, which sets in when the local energy density exceeds about 3.4…
The proposed hadronic and string cascade model, JPCIAE, for ultrarelativistic nucleus - nucleus collisions based on the LUND model and the PYTHIA event generator especially, is used to investigate the $J/\psi$ suppression due to the nuclear…
In heavy ion collisions after the quark-gluon plasma there is a hadronic gas phase. Using effective Lagrangians we study the interactions of charmed mesons which lead to $J/\psi$ production and absorption in this gas. We update and extend…
We have analyzed the latest NA50 data on $J/\psi$ suppression in Pb + Pb collisions. $J/\psi$ production is assumed to be a two step process, (i) formation of $c\bar{c}$ pair, which is accurately calculable in QCD and (ii) formation of…
We study the combined effect of nuclear absorption and final state interaction with co-moving hadrons on the $J/\Psi$ and $\Psi '$ suppression in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions. We show that reasonable description of the…

One observes strong suppression effects for hard probes, e.g. the production of J/psi or high-pT particles, in nucleus-nucleus (AA) collisions at RHIC. Surprisingly, the magnitude of the suppression is quite similar to that at SPS. In order…
Data from J/psi and psi' production in p-A collisions are used to determine the cross section for absorption of pre-resonance charmonium in nuclear matter. The J/psi suppression in O-Cu, O-U and S-U collisions is fully reproduced by the…
We propose a model for the production and suppression of J/\psi mesons in high-energy hadronic collisions. We factorized the process into a production of the $c\bar{c}$ pairs of relative momentum $k=k_c-k_{\bar{c}}$ convoluted with a…
The J/psi suppression observed by the NA50 experiment is one of the most striking signatures for quark gluon plasma formation in Pb-Pb collisions at 158 AGeV. The J/psi production has been studied as a function of the centrality of the…
We investigate a scenario where conditions for Mott dissociation of charmonium are fulfilled locally in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at the short time scales before hadronization and study possible consequences to be drawn from…
We study the characteristic features of J/Psi suppression by deconfinement. A first order phase transition leads to an essentially discontinuous onset of anomalous J/Psi suppression. The different energy densities required for the…
The observed features of $\psi'$ to $J/\psi$ suppression in $pA$ and nucleus-nucleus collisions can be explained in terms of a two-component absorption model. For the hard component of the absorption due to the interaction of the produced…
It is shown that the strangeness enhancement and the J/psi anomalous suppression patterns observed in heavy ion collisions at top SPS energy, sqrt(s)_NN = 17.2 GeV, exhibit an interesting correlation if studied as a function of the…
We have studied the J/psi suppression in 158 GeV/c Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS. J/psi production is assumed to be a two step process, (i) formation of c bar{c} pair, which is accurately calculable in QCD and (ii) formation of J/psi meson…
Data and their interpretations are reviewed for $J/\psi$ and $\psi^{\prime}$ production in heavy ion collisions with particular emphasis on the recently reported discontinuity in $Pb$-$Pb$ reactions. The experimental set-up is described and…
Charmonium production and suppression in In+In and Pb+Pb reactions at SPS energies is investigated with the HSD transport approach within the 'hadronic comover model' as well as the 'QGP threshold scenario'. The results of the transport…
