QCD phase diagram is obtained by analysing centrality dependence of $J/\psi$ suppression in $\snn$=17.3 Pb+Pb and $\snn$=200 GeV Au+Au collisions. $J/\psi$'s produced in initial interactions are assumed to dissolve if local temperature…
In a hydrodynamic model, we have studied $J/\psi$ production in Au+Au/Cu+Cu collisions at RHIC energy $\sqrt{s}$=200 GeV. At the initial time, $J/\psi$'s are randomly distributed in the fluid. As the fluid evolve in time, the free streaming…

We determine the nuclear suppression factor $S_{Pb}(x)$, where $x=M_{J/\psi}^2/W_{\gamma p}^2$ with $M_{J/\psi}$ the $J/\psi$ mass and $W_{\gamma p}$ the photon-nucleon energy, for the cross section of coherent $J/\psi$ photoproduction in…

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…
