Heavy quarkonia are observed to be suppressed in relativistic heavy ion collisions relative to their production in p+p collisions scaled by the number of binary collisions. In order to determine if this suppression is related to color…
New data on the $J/\psi$ suppression both in proton-nucleus and in lead-lead interactions have been presented recently by the NA50 collaboration. We show that these data, together with the final ones on sulfur-uranium interactions, can be…

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…
It has been suggested that the suppression of $J/\psi$ production in heavy nuclei is a signature of the formation of quark-gluon plasma. We here show that this phenomenon can be understood in terms of conventional physics, {\it i.e.} {\it…
We study J/psi suppression in AB collisions assuming that the charmonium states evolve from small, color transparent configurations. Their interaction with nucleons and nonequilibrated, secondary hadrons is simulated using the microscopic…
The experimental ratio of $\psi'$ to $J/\psi$ is approximately a constant in $pA$ collisions, but decreases as the transverse energy increases in nucleus-nucleus collisions. These peculiar features can be explained as arising from…
Interpreting the J/psi suppression reported in nucleus--nucleus collisions at SPS and RHIC requires the quantitative understanding of cold nuclear matter effects, such as the inelastic rescattering of J/psi states in nuclei or the nuclear…
We study the production of $c \bar{c}$ pairs and dimuons from hard collisions in nuclear reactions within the covariant transport approach HSD. Adopting 6 mb for the $c \bar{c}$-baryon cross section the data on $J/\Psi$ suppression in p + A…
We calculate the inclusive J/Psi production in heavy ion collisions including the effects of gluon saturation in the wave functions of the colliding nuclei. We argue that the dominant production mechanism in proton--nucleus and…

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…
The production of charmonia is investigated for heavy-ion collisions from SPS to RHIC energies. Our approach incorporates two sources of $J/\Psi$ yield: (i) a direct contribution arising from early (hard) parton-parton collisions, subject…
Charmonium production from the hadron gas formed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions is studied. Using the $J/\psi$-hadron absorption cross section determined from the nonperturbative quark-exchange model, which has a peak value…
The effects of parton energy loss and pT-broadening in cold nuclear matter on the pT and centrality dependence, at various rapidities, of J/psi suppression in p-A collisions are investigated. Calculations are systematically compared to E866…
In most calculations of hard particle suppression in heavy-ion reactions the hadronic stage has been neglected due to formation time arguments. Most of the hard particle shower exits the hot and dense medium before the system enters the…
Coherent multiple scatterings of c and cbar quark pairs in the environment of heavy ion collisions have been used in a previous work by Qiu et al. [Qiu:1998rz] to study J/psi suppression. That model suggests that heavy quark re-scatterings…
