We have attempted to develop here tentatively a model for $J/\Psi$ production in p+p, d+Au, Cu + Cu and Au + Au collisions at RHIC energies on the basic ansatz that the results of nucleus-nucleus collisions could be arrived at from the…
This is an overview of the results from the first 3 years of RHIC experiments. RHIC is a collider built to accelerate nuclei to center of mass energies of 200 GeV per nucleon for the study of QCD in bulk systems. The most important result…
This is a review of theoretical attempts to describe production of heavy quark bound states in nucleus-nucleus collisions, in particular, the relative suppression of $J/\psi$ and $\psi'$ production observed in these reactions. The review…
Charmonium is a prominent probe of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), expected to be formed in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion (A-A) collisions. It has been predicted that the J/psi(c-cbar) particle is dissolved in the deconfined medium created in…
In the QGP based threshold model \cite{Blaizot:2000ev,Blaizot:1996nq}, in addition to the normal nuclear absorption, $J/\psi$'s are subjected to an 'anomalous' suppression such that above a threshold density $n_{J/\psi}$, all the $J/\psi$'s…
In this short review we summarize experimental information and theoretical results for the low-energy dissociation cross sections of charmonia by light hadrons. These cross sections are required for the simulation of charmonium absorption…
The J/\Psi(1S) and \Psi'(2S) production near threshold in antiproton-nucleus reactions is calculated on the basis of the Glauber model. The model takes into account the antiproton (pre)absorption, proton Fermi motion, and charmonium…
Understanding properties of QCD matter created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions is a major goal of RHIC and LHC experiments. An excellent tool to study these properties is jet suppression of light and heavy flavor observables.…
We investigate $J/\psi$ suppression in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions within a generalized GLAUBER model and compare results of a hadronic comover scenario with those of a quark plasma scenario where conditions for MOTT dissociation…
Nuclear effects for J/Psi production in pA collisions are controlled by the coherence and color transparency effects. Color transparency onsets when the time of formation of the charmonium wave function becomes longer than the inter-nucleon…
We discuss the interplay of screening, absorption and regeneration effects, on the quantum mechanical evolution of quarkonia states, within a time-dependent harmonic oscillator (THO) model with complex oscillator strength. We compare the…
The extend to which geometrical effects contribute to the production and suppression of the $J/\psi$ and $q\bar{q}$ minijet pairs in general is investigated for high energy heavy ion collisions at SPS, RHIC and LHC energies. For the energy…
We investigate the transition from suppression to enhancement of J/psi mesons produced in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions in the framework of the statistical hadronization model. The calculations are confronted with the most recent…
The interpretation of the J/psi suppression patterns observed in nuclear collisions, at CERN and RHIC, as a signature of the formation of a deconfined phase of QCD matter, requires knowing which fractions of the measured J/psi yields, in pp…
We study cold and hot nuclear matter effects on charmonium production in p+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\text{NN}}=5.02$ TeV in a transport approach. At the forward rapidity, the cold medium effect on all the $c\bar c$ states and the hot…
We update our previous work of a Langevin-with-interaction model for charmonium in heavy-ion collisions, by considering the effect due to recombination. We determine the contribution to J/psi yields from charm-anticharm pairs whose…
Experiments involving copper-copper collisions at the RHIC-BNL (USA) at energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 22.5, 62 and 200 GeV have produced a vast amount of high-precision data which are to be analysed in the light of various competing models in…
Within the Hadron-String Dynamics (HSD) transport approach we study the suppression pattern of charmonia at RHIC with respect to centrality and rapidity employing various model concepts such as variants of the 'comover absorption' model or…
One of the most remarkable observations in heavy-ion collisions is the systematic regularity exhibited by pseudorapidity distributions of charged particles across collision energies. While single-source models fail at higher energies and…
We reexamine the production of J/Psi and other charmonium states for a variety of target-projectile choices at the SPS. For this study we use a newly constructed cascade code LUCIFER II, which yields acceptable descriptions of both hard and…
