We discuss the recent NA50 J/Psi production data in Pb--Pb collisions, in particular the second drop at high transverse energies which correspond to the most central collisions. Using a model which relates the J/Psi suppression to the local…
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…
In this work we estimate the $N_{\psi(2S)} / N_{J/\psi}$ yield ratio in heavy-ion collisions, considering the interactions of the $\psi (2S) $ and $J/\psi$ states with light mesons in the hadron gas formed at the late stages of these…
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 $J/\psi$…
We present a simple model with string absorption and percolation to describe the J/psi suppression in heavy ion collisions. The NA50 data are fairly well explained by the model.
According to quantum chromodynamics, at sufficiently high energy, the structure of hadrons reveals a dynamic equilibrium between gluon splitting and gluon recombination -- a phenomenon known as saturation. The process of diffractive…
While presently available p-A data observe that the nuclear dependence of $J/\psi$ and $\psi^{\prime}$ production is the same within errors, we show that different nuclear dependence of $J/\psi$ and $\psi^{\prime}$ production 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…
A mechanism for the effective dissociation of a $c\bar{c}$ pair in the colour electric field of strings is introduced into a hadron and string cascade model, i.e. JPCIAE, which is based on the LUND model, simulating ultra-relativistic…
In high energy nuclear collisions, the conventional Glauber model is commonly used to evaluate the contribution to $J/\psi$ suppression originating from the inelastic interaction with colorless bound nucleons. This requires an effective…
A parameter-free calculation for J/Psi suppression in pA collisions, based on the dipole description, is confronted with the new data from the PHENIX experiment. Achieving good agreement, we employed this model predicting the contribution…

Heavy quarkonia are observed to be suppressed in relativistic heavy ion collisions relative to their production in p+p collisions scaled by the number of binary collisions. In order to determine if this suppression is related to color…
Recent studies of the interaction of vector mesons with nuclei make possible and opportune the study of the interaction of the $J/\psi$ with nuclei and the investigation of the origin of the $J/\psi$ suppression in its propagation thorough…
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)…
The $J/\psi$ absorption cross section by nucleon is studied using a gauged SU(4) hadronic Lagrangian but with empirical particle masses, which has been used previously to study the $J/\psi$ absorption cross section by pion and rho meson.…
We have analysed the latest NA50 data on $J/\psi$ production in pA and AA collisions. The $J/\psi$ production is assumed to be a two step process, (i) formation of $c\bar{c}$ pairs, perturbatively calculable, and (ii) formation of $J/\psi$…
A reexamination of hadronic comover scattering indicates that this mechanism cannot explain the observed $\psi$ suppression in Pb+Pb interactions. The possibility of quark-gluon plasma formation is therefore considered.
In the QGP motivated threshold model, in addition to the normal nuclear absorption, $J/\psi$'s are subjected to an additional "anomalous" suppression. We have analysed the recently published PHENIX data on the participant number dependence…
Using the quark-interchange model of Barnes and Swanson, we evaluate the dissociation cross sections for $J/\psi$ and $\psi'$ by $\pi$ and $\rho$ at low collision energies. In collisions with $\pi$ mesons near threshold the $\pi + J/\psi$…
