Title: {psi}{prime} and J/{psi} suppression in high-energy nucleon-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:192477

The observed features of {psi}` to J/{psi} suppression in pA and nucleus-nucleus collisions can be explained in terms of a two-component absorption model. For the hard component of the absorption due to the interaction of the produced c{bar c} systems with baryons at high relative energies, the absorption cross sections are insensitive to the radii of the c{bar c} systems, as described by the Additive Quark Model. For the soft component due to the low energy c{bar c} interactions with soft particles produced by other baryon-baryon collisions, the absorption cross sections are greater for {psi}` than for J/{psi}, because the breakup threshold for {psi}` is much smaller than for {psi}.
