Analyzing correlation functions of charmonia at finite temperature ($T$) on $32^3\times(32-96)$ anisotropic lattices by the maximum entropy method (MEM), we find that $J/\psi$ and $\eta_c$ survive as distinct resonances in the plasma even…
Thirty years ago, Matsui and Satz proposed the $J/\psi$ destruction as a signal of a Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) formation, due to the Debye screening between the pair c-cbar. At the light of the recent experimental data, I review the…
We report on charmonium measurements [J/psi(1S), psi'(2S), and chi_c(1P)] in p+p collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV. We find that the fraction of J/psi coming from the feed-down decay of psi' and chi_c in the midrapidity region ($|\eta|<0.35$)…
Recent experimental and theoretical studies suggest that the quarkonia suppression in a thermal QCD medium created at heavy ion collisions is a complex interplay of various physical processes. In this article we put together most of these…
Short-distance QCD is employed to calculate the $J/\psi$ survival probability in an equilibrating parton gas, whose evolution is governed by a set of master rate equations. Partons in the early stage of high-energy nuclear collisions may…
J/\Psi and \eta_c above the QCD critical temperature T_c are studied in anisotropic quenched lattice QCD, considering whether the c\bar c systems above T_c are compact quasi-bound states or scattering states. We adopt the standard Wilson…
We analyze the applicability of perturbative QCD (pQCD) approach to the issue of $J/\psi$ recombination at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and calculate the recombination cross section for $c\bar{c}$ recombination to form $J/\psi$ as a…
We study charmonium correlators and spectral functions at zero and finite temperature using anisotropic lattices at several different lattice spacings. We find evidence for survival of 1S charmonia states at leas till $1.5T_c$ and…
We set up a framework in which in-medium charmonium properties are constrained by thermal lattice QCD and subsequently implemented into a thermal rate equation enabling the comparison with experimental data in heavy-ion collisions.…
The NA38 and NA50 experiments at the CERN SPS have measured charmonium production in different colliding systems with the aim of observing a phase transition from ordinary hadronic matter towards a state in which quarks and gluons are…
Heavy ion collisions, produced in particle accelerators, lead to the formation of a new state of matter, known as the quark gluon plasma. It is not possible to observe directly the plasma, where quarks and gluons are not confined into…
The effective degrees of freedom of the Quark-Gluon Plasma are studied in the temperature range $\sim 1-2$ $ T_c$. Employing lattice results for the pressure and the energy density, we constrain the quasiparticle chiral invariant mass to be…
Following a recent work on equation of state for strongly interacting quark-gluon plasma [J. Phys. G: Nucl. Part. Phys. 32, 993 (2006)], we revisited the equation of state by incorporating the non-perturbative effects in the deconfined…
The interpretation of the J/psi suppression patterns observed in nuclear collisions, at CERN and RHIC, as a signature of the formation of a deconfined phase of QCD matter, requires knowing which fractions of the measured J/psi yields, in pp…
The present article is the follow-up of our work Bottomonium suppression in quasi-particle model, where we have extended the study for charmonium states using quasi-particle model in terms of quasi-gluons and quasi quarks/antiquarks as a…
Charmonium production and suppression in heavy-ion collisions at relativistic energies is investigated within different models, i.e. the comover absorption model, the threshold suppression model, the statistical coalescence model and the…
We study the properties of charmonium states at finite temperature in quenched QCD on isotropic lattices. We measured charmonium correlators using non-perturbatively $\cO(a)$ improved clover fermions on fine ($a=0.01$ fm) lattices with a…
We examine three different ways a heavy quarkonium can dissociate at temperatures below the quark-gluon plasma phase transition temperature T_c: spontaneous dissociation, dissociation by thermalization, and dissociation by collision with…
We report first results for spectral functions of charmonium in 2-flavour QCD. The spectral functions are determined from vector and pseudoscalar correlators on a dynamical, anisotropic lattice. J/psi and eta_c are found to survive well…
We study the impact of magnetic fields generated in relativistic heavy ion collisions on the decay probability of quarkonium produced in the central rapidity region. The quark and anti-quark components are subject to mutually orthogonal…
