Quarkonia production in cold and hot matters

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Quarkonia were predicted to be suppressed in the 'hot' deconfined matter known as the quark gluon plasma (QGP), but they were also seen to suffer from 'cold' nuclear matter effects (parton shadowing, nuclear absorption, etc.). Both at SPS and RHIC, suppression beyond nuclear effects was observed, but the rapidity dependence of the RHIC result is not easy to interpret. I review here the current status of these results, their possible interpretations and the new measurements that could provide insights on quarkonia suppression. Some of them were presented at this conference.
