We discuss the quarkonium production in heavy ion collisions at LHC energy, including both initial production before the QGP formation and the regeneration inside the QGP phase. Instead of the quarkonium yield, the quarkonium transverse momentum distribution is sensitive to the production dynamics and can be considered as a sensitive signature of the QGP formation.

The main goal of relativistic heavy-ion collision is to search for the Quark-gluon Plasma (QGP) and to study its properties. Quarkonium suppression in heavy-ion collisions due to color-screening of quark and anti-quark has been proposed as a signature of QGP formation. But other mechanisms such as the cold nuclear matter effect, heavy quark recombination and hot wind...

In heavy-ion collisions, charm and bottom (heavy flavour) quarks are produced primarily in the initial, hard partonic interactions. They successively interact with the hot and dense Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) expected to be formed in such collisions.
Therefore, measurements of heavy flavour production provide relevant information on the properties of the QGP.
This talk presents measurements...
