Charmonium production in P-A collisions.
Conference
·
OSTI ID:975882
A review of J / {psi} and {psi}' production (charmonium) in proton-nucleus collisions is given including results from measurements at fixed target experiments at both Fermilab (E866/NuSea) and CERN (NA50) and some discussion of planned measurements at RHIC and NA60. The important physics that contributes to the large suppression in production of charmonium will be discussed as will be information from complementary measurements of open-charm production, and the Drell-Yan process. The differences in the results from Fermilab and CERN and the evolution of this physics to RHIC energies will be shown. The importance of a clear understanding of these effects in order to use J / {psi} suppression as a tool for study of the Quark-gluon plasma in nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC will be highlighted.
