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…
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…
$J/\psi$ suppression in p-A collisions is studied by considering the nuclear effects on parton distribution, energy loss of beam proton and the finial state energy loss of color octet $c\overline{c}$. The leading-order computations for…
