We have analyzed the latest NA50 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…
We calculate the bound state properties of $J/\psi$ in a hot and dense QCD plasma using phenomenological potentials augmented by inputs from perturbative QCD. The temperature and density region of study will be relevant in future heavy ion…
The long life-time of the quark-gluon plasma likely to be created in the relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies renders it sensitive to the details of the equation of state of the quark-matter. We show that the $p_T$…

We explicitly take into account the effect of hydrodynamic expansion profile on the gluonic breakup of $J/\psi$'s produced in an equilibrating parton plasma. Attention is paid to the space-time inhomogeneities as well as Lorentz frames…
The geometric clustering of partons in the transverse plane of nuclear collisions leads for increasing A or sqrt(s) to percolation. In the resulting condensate, the partons are deconfined but not yet in thermal equilibrium. We discuss…
We study the charmonium suppression in different evolutions of quark gluon plasma (QGP) based on the transport model. In the colliding energies of Large Hadron Collider, charmonium final yields are dominated by the recombination of charm…
All measured Feynman x_f distributions of the ratio, R, of j_psi production in nuclei relative to production on protons fall off with x_f. They show [2] that absorption of charmonium cannot be the only source of j_psi suppression and that…
In the framework of a model based on nuclear absorption plus comover interaction, we compute the $E_{T}$ distribution of the $J/\psi$ in $PbPb$ collisions at SPS and compare it with available NA50 data. Our analysis suggests that the…
$J/\psi$ suppression with rapidity is studied with both (3+1) dimensional transport equation and hydrodynamics in details at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV Pb+Pb collisions. In central rapidity region of the hot medium, $J/\psi$ nuclear…
Charmonium states are expected to be considerably suppressed in the case of quark-gluon plasma formation in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. However, a robust identification of suppression patterns as signatures of a deconfined QCD medium…
We calculate the nuclear suppression for $J/\Psi$ and $\Psi'$ production within a coupled channel approach in the subspace of the $J/\Psi$ and $\Psi'$ states. We are able to explain, why (i) the $J/\Psi$ and $\Psi'$ show the same…
A pQCD-based model for parton production and equilibration in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is reviewed. The model combines pQCD processes including initial and final state radiations together with string phenomenology for…
The azimuthal asymmetry of $J/\psi$ suppression in non-central heavy-ion collisions is studied within a dynamic model of $J/\psi$ suppression in a deconfined partonic medium. Within this model, $J/\psi$ suppression in heavy-ion collisions…
We have studied the J/psi suppression in 158 GeV/c Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS. 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 meson…
The transverse momentum dependence of J/Psi suppression in relativistic heavy ion collisions is calculated from initial state gluon rescattering not only with nucleons but also with prompt gluons produced in nucleon-nucleon collisions in…
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 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)…
We study the combined effect of nuclear absorption and final state interaction with co-moving hadrons on the $J/\Psi$ and $\Psi '$ suppression in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions. We show that reasonable description of the…
The data for the mean squared transverse momentum P_t as function of transverse energy E_t of J/Psi and Psi' produced in Pb-Pb collisions at the CERN-SPS are analyzed and it is claimed that they contain information about the time structure…
