Importance of Quarkonium in Studying QGP
How to probe QGP?
●electro-magnetic signals (leptons and photons)
●jets (fast partons)
●quarkonium
●heavy quarks are produced only in the initial impact, and no extra
production in the later evolution
a clean probe of QGP
●production via pQCD process
rather solid ground

Cold and Hot Nuclear Matter Effects
Hot Nuclear Matter effects:
1)suppression in QGP and HG
2)regeneration in QGP and HG
Hot Nuclear Matter effects
Cold Nuclear Matter effects
screening only
Cold Nuclear Matter effects:
1)nuclear absorption
2)Cronin effect
3)shadowing effect
screening + regeneration
● initial production controls high pt region
●regeneration becomes important at low pt due to heavy quark energy loss

However,

Shadowing Effect
parton distribution function (PDF) in a nucleus is different from a
simple superposition (Glauber model) of the PDF in a free nucleon.
shadowing correction factor:

 F : transverse momentum

shadowing effect + nuclear absorption
can explain the pA data at RHIC energy.

conclusion:
nuclear absorption can well explain the J/psi yield in pA and light
nuclear collisions at SPS energy !

J/ψ Puzzles at RHIC
2 puzzles for J/Psi production at RHIC energy:
RAA (|y|<0.35) > RAA (1.2<|y|<2.2)
RAA (RHIC, |y|<0.35) ≈ RAA (SPS)
with the Debye screening theory, the suppression is controlled only by the
temperature, higher T
stronger suppression, it leads to
RAA (|y|<0.35) < RAA (1.2<|y|<2.2)
RAA (RHIC, |y|<0.35) < RAA (SPS)
how to explain the puzzles ?
15
Regeneration at RHIC (1)
there are about 10 pairs of c quarks in a central Au-Au collision at RHIC energy and more
than 100 pairs at LHC energy
very important J/\psi regeneration at high energies:
in QGP
c  c  J /  g
in hadron gas
mesons
the competition between J/\psi suppression and regeneration leads to the question:
J/\psi suppression or enhancement at high energies?
model 1: sudden production
(Andronic, PBM, Redlich, Stachel, NPA789, 334(2007):
J/\psi’s are statistically produced at T=Tc,
no initial production
suppression at RHIC,
no suppression at LHC !
16
Regeneration at RHIC (2)
model 2: continuous production in QGP (Thews, Mangano, PRC73, 014904(2006):
J/\psi’s are continuously produced in the whole QGP region
including anomalous suppression
no initial production
* perturbative calculation with nonrelativistic Coulomb potential (Peskin, Bhanot, NPB156, 365(1979)
* detailed balance
model 3: two-component model
(Grandchamp, Rapp, Brown, PRL92, 212301(2004):
initial production + sudden regeneration
the stronger regeneration at RHIC than
at SPS explains the first J/psi puzzle !
the stronger regeneration at central
rapidity that at forward rapidity explains
the second J/\psi puzzle !
17
Is Regeneration Necessary ?
heavy quark potential (Young, Shuryak, 2008):
V = U,
F=U-TS
Schroedinger equation:
J/psi dissociation temperature Td = 2.7 Tc > maximum T at RHIC.
there is no big difference between SPS and RHIC !
this explains why there is no big difference between the suppressions
at SPS and at RHIC.
regeneration looks not necessary !?

SQM2011 experimental summary by K.Safarik:
overall suppression of J/ψ is nearly identical
between SPS, RHIC & LHC !
Transverse Momentum Distribution
the transverse momentum distribution which depends more
directly on the production mechanism must contain additional
information about the nature of the medium and J/\psi and may
help to distinguish between different scenarios.

Dissociation Cross Section
J / ()  g  Q  Q
● gluon dissociation cross section described by OPE (Bhanot, Peskin,1999):

● at finite temperature, we use the classical relation

r (0)
 ( p , pg )
r 2 (T ) is calculated through the
Schroedinger equation
● dissociation rate of  at a fixed medium velocity v=0.5 and for V=U:
1)T-dependence of the
differential cross section is still
an open problem;
2) we did not consider quasifree processes which may play
an important role at high T<Td.
● regeneration rate is determined by the detailed balance
Transverse Momentum at SPS

no regeneration at SPS
very important leakage effect !

Υ, a Cleaner Probe at RHIC
J/ψ :
the production and suppression mechanisms are
complicated: there are primordial production and
nuclear absorption in the initial state and regeneration
and anomalous suppression during the evolution of
the hot medium.
Υ:
1) the regeneration can be safely neglected;
2) there is almost no feed-down forΥ ;
3) weaker CNM effect

Measuring RHIC Temperature by Excited ϒ States
initial temperature dependence of RAA
central Au+Au at √s=200 GeV
Liu, Chen, Xu, Zhuang: arXiv:1009.2585,PLB2011
suppression of excited ϒ states is sensitive to the fireball temperature !
Υat LHC: RAA( pt )
high pt is controlled by initial production !
Conclusions:
● pt dependence is more sensitive to the production and
suppression mechanism.
● regeneration is important at RHIC and LHC.
● competition between initial production and regeneration
can explain systematically the data from SPS to LHC.
● Upsilon production at RHIC and LHC supports V=U.
Uncertainty analysis:
pp collision, shadowing effect, EoS, time scales, ……
Suggestions:
● measure D-Dbar correlation at LHC (Zhu, Bleicher, Huang,
Schweda, Stoecker, Xu, Zhuang, PLB2007, Zhu, Xu, Zhuang, PRL2008)
● measure J/psi-D correlation at LHC (since both are from the
same source )
● measure quarkonium v2 at LHC (which is very sensitive to the
production and suppression mechanisms ).

DD correlation at LHC
Zhu, Xu, Zhuang, PRL100, 152301(2008)
* c quark motion in QGP:
for strongly interacting quark-gluon plasma:
we take drag coefficient to
be a parameter charactering
the coupling strength
* QGP evolution:
ideal hydrodynamics
● at RHIC, the back-to-back correlation is washed out.
● at LHC, c quarks are fast thermalized, the strong
flow push the D and Dbar to the near side!
large drag parameter is confirmed by R_AA and v_2 of
non-photonic electrons (PHENEX, 2007; Moore and Teaney,
2005; Horowitz, Gyulassy, 2007).
