We apply a Color Glass Condensate+Non-Relativistic QCD (CGC+NRQCD) framework to compute $J/\psi$ production in deuteron-nucleus collisions at RHIC and proton-nucleus collisions at the LHC. Our results match smoothly at high $p_\perp$ to a…
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…
The observed pT-dependence of nuclear effects for J/Psi produced in heavy ion collisions at RHIC might look puzzling, since the nuclear suppression seems to fade at large pT. We explain this by the interplay of three mechanisms: (i)…
Heavy quarkonia production is predicted to be sensitive to the formation of the quark gluon plasma in relativistic heavy ion collisions via competing mechanisms such as color screening and/or quark recombination. During 2004 and 2005 RHIC…
Thermal production of $J/\psi$ in the quark gluon plasma is reconsidered. We show that if screening effects are not strong enough, the ``in-plasma born'' $J/\psi$'s would generate a peak in the Feynman momentum distribution at $x_F \simeq…
We consider the production of the J/psi mesons in heavy ion collisions at RHIC energies in the statistical coalescence model with an exact (canonical ensemble) charm conservation. The c\bar{c} quark pairs are assumed to be created in the…
We study the production of $c \bar{c}$ pairs and dimuons from hard collisions in nuclear reactions within the covariant transport approach HSD, which describes successfully both hadronic and electromagnetic observables from p+A and A+A…
Combining the hydrodynamic equations for the QGP evolution and the transport equation for the primordially produced $J/\psi$ in the QGP, we investigate the $J/\psi$ transverse momentum distribution as well as its suppression in the…

The momentum diffusion effect of the quark pair due to the multiple scattering in a nuclear medium is studied to explain the observed J/psi yields in SPS experiments. The resulting suppression is found to be insufficient to reproduce the…
We calculate the cross section for the $\gamma \gamma \to J/\psi J/\psi$ process. Two mechanisms are considered: box (two-loop) diagrams of the order of $O(\alpha_{em}^2 \alpha_s^2)$ and two-gluon exchange of the order of $O(\alpha_{em}^2…
In high-energy nuclear collisions, the new phase of the quark-gluon plasma is indicated by an anomalous increase in pressure, an excess of direct photon production, an excess of strangeness production, and an anomalous J/psi suppression. We…
