An alternative model for the dissociation of the J/psi is proposed. Chiral symmetry is properly implemented. Abnormal parity interactions and mesonic form factors naturally arise from the underlying quark sub-structure. Analytic confinement…

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…
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…

The production of $J/\psi$ mesons in heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider is believed to be dominated by the recombination of charm and anti-charm quarks in a hot QCD medium. However, measurements of the elliptic flow ($v_2$)…
We reanalyze the dissociation process of the $J/\psi$ by $\pi$ and $\rho$ mesons into $D + \bar{D}$, $D^* + \bar{D}$, $D + \bar{D}^*$, and $D^* + \bar{D}^*$ within a meson exchange model. In addition to the dissociation mechanisms…
We investigate the reaction gamma+p -> V+p, with V denoting a Phi or a J/Psi meson, within the scope of perturbative QCD, treating the proton as a quark-diquark system. Our predictions extrapolate the existing forward differential…
