报告简介:
Since the suggestion by Matsui and Satz that the production of charmonium would be suppressed in relativistic heavy-ion collisions as a result of the screening of color charges in QGP and thus could be used as a signature for the produced QGP in these collisions, there have been extensive experimental and theoretical studies on this very interesting phenomenon. Although experiments from SPS, RHIC, and LHC have indeed shown a suppressed production of charmonium as well as the bottomonium, a satisfactory explanation involves the interplay of many effects from both the initial cold nuclear matter and the final hot partonic and hadronic matters. Including these effects in a two-component model that takes into account both initial production from nucleon-nucleon hard scattering and regeneration from produced QGP, we have carried out a series of studies of quarkonia production in relativistic heavy ion collisions [1-3]. A good description has been obtained for the nuclear modification factors of charmonia measured in heavy ion collisions at SPS, RHIC and LHC and of bottomonia measured at RHIC and LHC. An application of our model to p+Pb collisions at the LHC shows that the hot medium effects are also present for charmonium production in these collisions [4]. In this talk, I will review these results and also discuss the heavy quark non-equilibrium effect [5] and the initial- state fluctuations effect on quarkonia production [6], the formation time of quarkonia [7] and the heavy quark potential [8] in the quark-gluon plasma, and the validity of the dipole approximation used in calculating the chamronium dissociation cross section [9].
