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 have analysed the NA50 data, on the centrality dependence of $p_T$ broadening of $J/\psi$'s, in Pb+Pb collisions, at the CERN-SPS. The data were analysed in a QCD based model, where $J/\psi$'s are suppressed in 'nuclear' medium. Without…
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…
The NA60 experiment studies muon pair production at the CERN SPS. In this letter we report on a precision measurement of J/psi in In-In collisions. We have studied the J/psi centrality distribution, and we have compared it with the one…
Production of J/\psi mesons in heavy ion collisions is considered within the statistical coalescence model. The model is in agreement with the experimental data of the NA50 Collaboration for Pb+Pb collisions at 158 A GeV in a wide…
We have analyzed the latest NA50 data on $J/\psi$ suppression in Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS. It is shown that a QCD based nuclear absorption model, where $J/\psi$'s are absorbed in nuclear medium could explain the latest NA50 data on the…

Charmonia suppression is one of the main signatures for the formation of a deconfined medium. However, also nuclear effects, not related to the production of a hot medium, can affect the J/psi yield. The determination, from the study of p-A…

It is shown that a QCD based nuclear absorption model, with few parameters fixed to reproduce experimental $J/\psi$ yield in 200 GeV pp/pA and 450 GeV pA collisions can explain the preliminary PHENIX data on the centrality dependence of…
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…
We have analysed the latest NA50 data on $J/\psi$ production in pA and AA collisions. The $J/\psi$ production is assumed to be a two step process, (i) formation of $c\bar{c}$ pairs, perturbatively calculable, and (ii) formation of $J/\psi$…
We discuss $J/\psi$ suppression in a QCD based nuclear absorption model. Centrality dependence of $J/\psi$ suppression in S+U and in Pb+Pb collisions are explained in the model. However, the model fails to explain the centrality dependence…
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…

The NA50 Collaboration has recently observed a strong suppression of J/Psi production in Pb-Pb collisions at 158 Gev/n. We show that this recent observation finds a quantitative explanation in a model which relates the suppression mechanism…

We discuss the recent NA50 J/Psi production data in Pb--Pb collisions, in particular the second drop at high transverse energies which correspond to the most central collisions. Using a model which relates the J/Psi suppression to the local…

In a hydrodynamic model, we have studied $J/\psi$ production in Au+Au/Cu+Cu collisions at RHIC energy $\sqrt{s}$=200 GeV. At the initial time, $J/\psi$'s are randomly distributed in the fluid. As the fluid evolve in time, the free streaming…
