The result is used to study the suppression of $J/ψ$ in nuclear collisions. With absorption cross sections for $(c \bar c)_8$ $σ_{abs}^8\simeq 11mb $ and $(c \bar c)_1$ $σ_{abs}^1\simeq 0mb $ the p-A and A-B data except for Pb-Pb can be explained. Possible explanations of additional suppression in Pb-Pb are discussed.12 pages, 2 figures, RevtexHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyProduction and Suppression of Charmonium in Nuclear Collisionstext
