Abstract | At the extreme energy densities and temperatures produced in ultra-relativistic heavyion collisions, hadronic matter undergoes a transition into a state of deconfined quarks and gluons, known as quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Charmonium is one of the most prominent probes used to investigate the properties of the QGP. Charmonium states are expected to be dissociated in a QGP medium by color screening or dissociation. The regeneration mechanism, occuring dynamically within the QGP or by thermal weights at the phase boundary is also an important ingredient for describing the J/ψ production at LHC energies. |
