Satz Binding of a pair is subject to color screening in QGP. Melting temperatures depend on their binding radius. Temperature of QGP can be estimated or another models like regeneration can be tested. arXiv:0911.4806 21 April DIS 2010, Florence, Italy Kwangbok Lee

21 April DIS 2010, Florence, Italy Summary Nuclear modification factors of Upsilon, J/y and light vector mesons are shown. They show suppression at low x region but, not clearly understood yet. Recent J/y Rcp result is not explained well with shadowing model and fixed breakup cross sections. New Upsilon RdAu shows suppression in low x region and need to have theoretical comparison. Low mass vector meson need to understand its production mechanisms. feed down to J/y measurement is underway and important to decouple the cold nuclear matter effect and QGP state. In future, PHENIX FVTX/VTX upgrade will reduce more background and make the y’ and even Drell-Yan measurement possible. 21 April DIS 2010, Florence, Italy Kwangbok Lee
