Motivation

J/Ψ-nucleon dissociation cross: Probability of J/Ψ to break up when moving through nuclear matter. Charme in medium - fundamental parameter Issue in heavy ion research Anomalous suppression observed in central HI collisions Probable indication of existence of Quark-Gluon-Plasma

#form

i (A) with ρL (A)

Parameters to select

  • Ppi
  • , HR/HI, {(A, Z)j}

Parameters to measure #in, #esc Parameters to model #form
