We present an evaluation of the strong couplings JD^(*)D^(*) and JD^(*)D^(*)pi by an effective field theory of quarks and mesons. These couplings are necessary to calculate pi+J/psi --> D^(*)+barD^(*) cross sections, an important background…

We define and compute from data the strong couplings of the X(3872) with both of the possible quantum numbers assignments J^{PC}=1^{++},2^{-+}. We use these to compute cross sections for J/psi resonance scattering into D Dbar*. As an…
We compute the $J/\psi \pi\to {charmed mesons}$ cross section using QCD sum rules. This cross section is important to distinguish the suppression in the production of $J/\psi$ through the dissociation by comoving pions and through the…

The J/psi is considered to be among the most important probes for the deconfined quark gluon plasma (QGP) created by relativistic heavy ion collisions. While the J/psi is thought to dissociate in the QGP by Debye color screening, there are…

We review the search for the quark-gluon plasma using the signal of the suppression of J/psi production in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Recent observations of anomalous J/psi suppression in high-energy Pb-Pb collisions observed by the…
The strong suppression of the $J/\psi$ is studied in the framework of hadronic and quark gluon plasma models. Predictions for RHIC energies are presented.
We estimate the survival probability of $J/{\psi}$ in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, using both short-distance QCD and nuclear absorption mechanism. The suppression is found to be almost 100 percent for a thermally equilibrating…
We present a new calculation of the pi-J/psi dissociation cross sections within the Constituent Quark-Meson Model recently introduced. To discuss the absorption of J/psi in heavy-ion collisions, we assume the J/psi to be produced inside a…
The scale of low energy c-cbar and b-bbar cross sections on light hadrons is of great importance to searches for the quark gluon plasma using the heavy-quarkonium suppression signature. Unfortunately, little is known about these…
We employ QCD sum rules to calculate the $J/\psi DD^*$ form factors and coupling constant by studying the three-point $J/\psi D^*D$ correlation function. We find that the momentum dependence of the form factor depends on the off-shell…
