$J/\psi$ suppression and QCD phase diagram

Nuclear Theory 2012-04-04 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

QCD phase diagram is obtained by analysing centrality dependence of J/ψJ/\psi suppression in \snn\snn=17.3 Pb+Pb and \snn\snn=200 GeV Au+Au collisions. J/ψJ/\psi's produced in initial interactions are assumed to dissolve if local temperature exceeds a threshold temperature. The threshold temperature depends on the (local) fluid temperature and baryonic chemical potential, which are obtained, under certain assumptions, from experimentally determined quantities e.g. rapidity density, net baryon density. QCD critical line with curvature parameter κ0.0180.23\kappa\approx 0.018-0.23 is consistent with experimental J/ψJ/\psi data. κ\kappa is factor of \sim3 larger than in lattice QCD calculations.
