چکیده

We study the effect of spatially homogeneous and inhomogeneous shadowing on J/psi production in deuterium-nucleus collisions. We discuss how the shadowing and its spatial dependence can be measured by comparing central and peripheral dA collisions. These event classes may be selected by using gray protons from heavy ion breakup and events where the proton or neutron in the deuterium does not interact. We find that inhomogeneous shadowing has a significant effect on central dA collisions, larger than expected in central AA collisions. Results are presented for dAu collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV and dPb collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=6.2 TeV.

Shadowing and Absorption Effects on J/ψ Production in dA Collisions

We study medium modifications of J/ψ production in cold nuclear media in deuterium-nucleus collisions. We discuss several parameterizations of the modifications of the parton densities in the nucleus, known as shadowing, an initial-state effect. We also include absorption of the produced J/ψ by nucleons, a final-state effect. Both spatially homogeneous and inhomogeneous shadowing and absorption...

Statistical Hadronization of Charm in Heavy Ion Collisions

Production of open and hidden charm hadrons in heavy ion collisions is considered within the statistical coalescence model (SCM). Charmed quark-antiquark pairs are assumed to be created at the initial stage of the reaction in hard parton collisions. The number of these pairs is conserved during the evolution of the system. At hadronization, the charmed (anti)quarks are distributed among open an...

Open and Hidden Charm Production in dA Collisions at RHIC and LHC

We discuss aspects of open and hidden charm production in deuterium-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC energies. We describe calculations of the total cc cross section and the charm quark transverse momentum distributions. We next explain how shadowing and moderate nuclear absorption can explain the PHENIX J/ψ dAu/pp ratios and predict the combined effect of shadowing and absorption in 6.2 TeV ...

Baseline Cold Matter Effects on J/ψ Production in AA Collisions at RHIC

We present baseline calculations of initial-state shadowing and finalstate absorption effects on J/ψ production in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. We show predictions for Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at √ SNN = 200 GeV and Cu+Cu collisions at √ SNN = 62 GeV as a function of the rapidity, y, and the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions, Ncoll.

Gluon saturation effects on J / psi production in heavy ion collisions.

We consider a novel mechanism for J / psi production in nuclear collisions arising due to the high density of gluons. The resulting J / psi production cross section is evaluated as a function of rapidity and centrality. We compute the nuclear modification factor and show that the rapidity distribution of the produced J / psi's is significantly more narrow in AA collisions due to the gluon satur...
