  13. Challenge: Can we discover a new mechanism for J/at LHC?

  14. Model predictions on J/ produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions X.-M. Xu, Nucl. Phys. A697 (2002) 825

  15. history of high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions AA QGM (no T) QGP HM 1 2 3 5

  16. history of high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions 1. initial nucleon-nucleon collisions; 2. thermalization of quark-gluon matter; 3. evolution of quark-gluon plasma; 4. hadronization at a critical temperature; 5. evolution of hadronic matter until freeze-out.

  17. production of is a pointlike color singlet or a color octet pair from is produced in the initial nuclear collisions, during the thermalization of quark-gluon matter, in the evolution of quark-gluon plasma.

  18. recombination In quark-gluon matter probability for to form a bound state J/ (cJ, ´) is proportional to the product of the NRQCD nonperturbative matrix elements and a medium modification factor.

  19. NRQCD nonperturbative matrix elements  Ο8H(3S1) = constant,  Ο8H(1S0) = constant,  Ο8H(3P0) = constant Ο8H(3S1)=χ+σTa ψ · (a+HaH)ψ+σTaχ Ο8H(1S0)=χ+Ta ψ (a+HaH) ψ+Taχ ψ the field that annihilates a heavy quark. χ the field that creates a heavy antiquark.

  20. medium modification factors S-wave color-octet state P-wave color-octet state medium: quark-gluon matter (no T and T) cross section

  21. dissociation penetrates through deconfined matter and hadronic matter, interacts with partons in deconfined matter interacts with hadrons in hadronic matter

  22. two definitions • Charmonium is prompt if the point at which the charmonium state is produced and the collision point of the colliding beams cannot be resolved using a vertex detector. A charmonium coming from the decay of b-hadrons is not prompt. • Charmonium is direct if the charmonium is prompt but does not come from the decay of a higher charmonium state. The prompt J/ includes direct J/ as well as the radiative feeddown from direct cJ and direct .

  24. pT- and y- spectra Momentum distribution of J/: produced via recombination during the thermalization of quark-gluon matter and in the evolution of quark-gluon plasma cause enhancement of J/ in some momentum region. ratio: The ratio is the J/ nuclear modification factor.

  30. SUMMARY (1) Mechanisms: dissociation and recombination. (2) Has the study of J/ at both SPS and RHIC accomplished the discovery of mechanisms for J/ in nucleus-nucleus collisions? (3) Competition between charmonium dissociation and charmonium formed from charm quarks and antiquarks in deconfined matter. (4) J/ enhancement in some momentum region

  31. Suggest J/ as a probe of the critical point Reason: On one side of the critical point, confined matter, no recombination of charm quark and charm antiquark. On the other side of the critical point, deconfined matter, recombination of charm quark and charm antiquark. The nuclear modification factor of J/ is affected by the recombination. Method: 1. system size dependence of RAA 2. beam energy dependence of RAA
