In this work we propose mainly phenomenological and theoretical models that allow, together with the use of the available experimental data, the calculation of form factors (FFs) and decay amplitudes. We focus our attention firstly on the…
We model J/psi using an effective lagrangian approach and calculate its spectral function in a gas of light mesons at finite temperature. We explore the hadronic landscape estimating cross sections for elastic and inelastic channels.…
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…
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…
We compute the $J/\psi \pi\to {charmed mesons}$ cross section using QCD sum rules. This cross section is important to distinguish the suppression in the production of $J/\psi$ through the dissociation by comoving pions and through the…
The cross sections of $B_{c}$\ absorption by nucleons are calculated in meson-baryon exchange model using hadronic Lagrangian based on SU(4)/SU(5) flavor symmetries. The values of different coupling constants used in the model are obtained…

We investigate the cold nuclear matter effects on $J/\psi$ production, whose understanding is fundamental to study the quark-gluon plasma. Two of these effects are of particular relevance: the shadowing of the parton distributions and the…
The double-differential cross sections of promptly produced J/psi and psi(2S) mesons are measured in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV, as a function of transverse momentum pt and absolute rapidity abs(y). The analysis uses J/psi and psi(2S)…
The production of J/psi mesons is studied in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The measurement is based on a dimuon sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 314 inverse nanobarns. The J/psi…
An effective hadronic Lagrangian including the charm mesons is introduced to study their interactions in hadronic matter. Using coupling constants that are determined either empirically or by the SU(4) symmetry, we have evaluated the…
Hidden charm mesons continue playing an essential role as relevant probes to understand the evolution of partonic matter. It is expected that the charmonia that survived the quark-gluon plasma phase suffer collisions with other particles…
The latest data for J/psi and psi' leptonic decays, and the latest measurement of the R-parameter are used to show that the present summary values of the branching ratios of the virtual photon mediated hadronic decays of both J/psi and psi'…
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…
Measurements have been made of pi+ absorption on He3 at T_pi+ = 118, 162, and 239 MeV using the Large Acceptance Detector System (LADS). The nearly 4pi solid angle coverage of this detector minimizes uncertainties associated with…

Based on a Glauber model, a statistical analysis of all mid-rapidity J/psi hadroproduction and leptoproduction data on nuclear targets is carried out. This allows us to determine the J/psi-nucleon inelastic cross section, whose knowledge is…
Motivated by the recent lattice data that $J/\psi$ will survive up to 1.6$T_c$, we calculate the thermal width of $J/\psi$ at finite temperature in perturbative QCD. The inputs of the calculation are the parton quarkonium dissociation cross…
We make a detailed study of the effect that the recently predicted modification of the in-medium masses of charmed mesons would have on $J/\Psi$ dissociation on pion and $\rho$-meson comovers in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We find a…
