Description
We study charmonium physics in heavy-ion collisions within the framework
of the non-equilibrium transport model UrQMD.
Using this model we compute different heavy quark observables like the
nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$, high $p_T$ suppression and the
elliptic flow $v_2$.
The UrQMD approach includes explicit interactions of the charmed particles
with the surrounding medium.
Different cross sections for charmonium dissociation and charmonium
recombination by D-Mesons are tested at SPS, RHIC and LHC energies.
We show that these results are in good agreement with measurements at the
different collision energies.
