We have analyzed the NA58 data on $J/\psi$ suppression in Pb+Pb collisions. $J/\psi$ production is assumed to be a two step process, (i) formation of $c\bar{c}$ pair, which is accurately calculable in QCD and (ii) formation of $J/\psi$…
A novel observable, the double nuclear modification factor, is proposed to probe simultaneously the initial and final state effects in nucleus-nucleus collisions. An interesting competition between the combinatorial enhancement in the…
We compute the contributions due to gluon and heavy-quark fragmentation to quarkonium production at large transverse momentum in $\bar p p$ and $p p$ collisions. For inclusive $J/\psi$ production, there is a large contribution from the $g…
Quarkonia ($J/\psi$, $\psi$', $\Upsilon$) production provides a sensitive probe of gluon distributions and their modification in nuclei; and is a leading probe of the hot-dense (deconfined) matter created in high-energy collisions of heavy…
Parton percolation provides geometric deconfinement in the pre-equilibrium stage of nuclear collisions. The resulting parton condensate can lead to charmonium suppression. We formulate a local percolation condition viable for non-uniform…

The inclusive J/$\psi$ production has been studied in Pn-Pb and pp collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV, using the ALICE detector at the CERN LHC. The J/$\psi$ meson is reconstructed, in the…

Background: Proton-nucleus collisions have been used as a intermediate baseline for the determination of cold medium effects. They lie between proton-proton collisions in vacuum and nucleus-nucleus collisions which are expected to be…
We present a quantitative description of $J/\psi$ and $\psi^\prime$ suppression in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at CERN energies. We use a conventional hadronic framework based on nuclear absorption plus final state…
The observation of an anomalous jpsi suppression in nucleus-nucleus collisions is one of the most important results of the SPS heavy-ion program. An essential ingredient in this result is the determination, obtained by studying p-A…
After a brief review of the various scenarios for quarkonium production in ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions we focus on the ingredients and assumptions underlying the statistical hadronization model. We then confront model…
In this paper we discuss the inclusive $J/\psi$ production in proton-proton collisions from fusion of three pomerons. We demonstrate that this mechanism gets dominant contribution from the region which can be theoretically described by…
In proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions up to central $S-U$ interactions, the $P_T$-dependence of $J/\psi$ production is determined by initial state parton scattering and pre-resonance nuclear absorption (``normal" $J/\psi$…

We propose to use transverse momentum $p_T$ distribution of $J/\psi$ production at the future Electron Ion Collider (EIC) to explore the production mechanism of heavy quarkonia in high energy collisions. We apply QCD and QED collinear…
