This report reviews the study of open heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in high-
energy hadronic collisions, as tools to investigate fundamental aspects of Quantum …

A golden age for heavy-quarkonium physics dawned a decade ago, initiated by the
confluence of exciting advances in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and an explosion of …

We review the theoretical background, experimental techniques, and phenomenology of
what is known in relativistic heavy ion physics as the Glauber model, which is used to …

The modification of the production of J/ψ J/ψ, ψ (2 S) ψ (2 S), and\varUpsilon (n S) Υ (n S)(n=
1, 2, 3 n= 1, 2, 3) in p+ Pb collisions with respect to their production in pp collisions has been …

Heavy quarkonia are observed to be suppressed in relativistic heavy-ion collisions relative
to their production in p+ p collisions scaled by the number of binary collisions. In order to …

We present a new measurement of J/ψ production in Pb-Pb collisions at 158 GeV/nucleon,
from the data sample collected in year 2000 by the NA50 Collaboration, under improved …

At high temperatures, strongly interacting matter becomes a plasma of deconfined quarks
and gluons. In statistical quantum chromodynamics, deconfinement and the properties of the …

The charmonium yields are expected to be considerably suppressed if a deconfined
medium is formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. In addition, the bottomonium states …

Finite temperature lattice QCD indicates that the charmonium ground state J/ψ can survive in
a quark–gluon plasma up to 1.5 Tc or more, while the excited states χc and ψ′ are …

The NA60 experiment studies muon pair production at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron.
In this Letter we report on a precision measurement of J/ψ in In-In collisions. We have …
