Charmonium Dissociation and Recombination: Cold Effects
Abstract
Description
Thirty years ago, Matsui and Satz proposed the $J/ψ$ destruction as a signal of a Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) formation, due to the Debye screening between the pair c-cbar. At the light of the recent experimental data, I review the different effects on $J/ψ$ production, from SPS to LHC energies, distinguishing between Cold Nuclear Matter (CNM) and QGP effects. Different possibilities and explanations for the available experimental data are discussed. Model predictions for the arriving LHC data are also presented.
