Prediction for transverse energy dependence of $J/\psi$ to Drell-Yan ratio in Au+Au collisions at RHIC energy was obtained in a model which assume 100% absorption of $J/\psi$ above a threshold density. The threshold density was obtained by…
CERN dilepton experiments have provided the most exciting data. Strong enhancement at low masses observed by CERES and HELIOS3 indicate strong modification in the vector channel in matter compared to vacuum properties. NA50 data on $J/\psi$…
The enhanced suppression of $J/\psi$ production at large $x_F$ in $pA$ collisions is studied in the framework of gluon depletion at large $x_1$. The nonperturbative process that modifies the gluon distribution as the gluons propagate in…

J/psi suppression induced by color screening of its constituent quarks was proposed 26 years ago as a signature of the formation of a quark gluon plasma in heavy-ion collisions. Recent results from ALICE in Pb-Pb collisions exhibit a…
Production of J/\psi mesons in heavy ion collisions is considered within the statistical coalescence model. The model is in agreement with the experimental data of the NA50 Collaboration for Pb+Pb collisions at 158 A GeV in a wide…
Coherent multiple scatterings of c and cbar quark pairs in the environment of heavy ion collisions have been used in a previous work by Qiu et al. [Qiu:1998rz] to study J/psi suppression. That model suggests that heavy quark re-scatterings…
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…
We point out that data on the onset of anomalous J/psi suppression as a function of nucleon numbers A and B could provide information on the dynamics of nuclear interactions. In particular the models of anomalous J/psi suppression by…
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…
