Quarkonia I: I
- Tamas Biro (KFKI RMKI)
The production of charmonium states, as the $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$, in heavy-
ion collisions, is an important probe to investigate the formation of a plasma
of quarks and gluons (QGP). In a hot and deconfined medium, quarkonium
production is, indeed, expected to be significantly modified, with respect to
the pp yields scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions, due
to a...
Heavy quarkonia are an essential probe in understanding the properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formed
in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The suppression of $J/\psi$ in the medium due to color-screening has been proposed
as a direct signature of the QGP formation.
However, its production mechanism in p+p collisions have not been fully understood despite of decades of efforts,
which...
