Charmonium at LHC: Production, Propagation and Decay
arXiv:nucl-th/0410104
Abstract
The productions of muon pairs from the decay of heavy quarkonia have been evaluated for different centrality of the nuclear collisions at LHC energies. The effects of the various comover scenarios on the survival probability of the heavy quarkonia have been considered. The effects of shadowing and comover suppressions on the dilepton spectra originating from the decays of J/Ïis found to be substantial. The dilepton yield from the thermal J/Ïhas also been estimated and found to be small.
