We study the properties of charmonium states at finite temperature in quenched QCD on isotropic lattices. We measured charmonium correlators using non-perturbatively \cO(a) improved clover fermions on fine (a=0.01 fm) lattices with a relatively large size of 1283×96, 1283×48, 1283×32 and 1283×24 at 0.73Tc, 1.46Tc, 2.20Tc and 2.93Tc, respectively. Our analysis suggests that \Jpsi is melted already at 1.46Tc and ηc starts to dissolve at 1.46Tc and does not exist at higher temperatures. We also identify the heavy quark transport contribution at the spectral function level for the first time.
