Workshop on QCD and RHIC Physics, Hefei, July regeneration I there are about 10 pairs of c quarks in a central Au-Au collision at RHIC energy and more than 100 pairs at LHC energy very important J/\psi regeneration at high energies: in QGP in QGP in hadron gas in hadron gas the competition between J/\psi suppression and regeneration leads to the question: J/\psi suppression or enhancement at high energies? model 1: sudden production (Andronic, PBM, Redlich, Stachel, NPA789, 334(2007): J/\psi’s are statistically produced at T=Tc, no initial production mesons suppression at RHIC, no clear enhancement at LHC suppression at RHIC, no clear enhancement at LHC

Workshop on QCD and RHIC Physics, Hefei, July necessary regeneration ? heavy quark potential (Young, Shuryak, 2008): heavy quark potential (Young, Shuryak, 2008): V = U, F=U-TS V = U, F=U-TS Schroedinger equation: J/psi dissociation temperature Td = 2.7 Tc > maximum T at RHIC. Schroedinger equation: J/psi dissociation temperature Td = 2.7 Tc > maximum T at RHIC. there is no big difference between SPS and RHIC ! This explains why there is no big difference between suppressions at SPS and at RHIC. there is no big difference between SPS and RHIC ! This explains why there is no big difference between suppressions at SPS and at RHIC. regeneration looks not necessary !? regeneration looks not necessary !?

Workshop on QCD and RHIC Physics, Hefei, July transport model (Hufner and Zhuang, PLB559, 193(2003): transport equation for J/\psi and hydrodynamics for QGP leakage for J/\psi yield, almost all the models – with and without the assumption of QGP and with and without regeneration mechanism – describe the observed suppression, after at least one parameter is adjusted. the transverse momentum distribution which depends more directly on the production mechanism may contain additional information about the nature of the medium and J/\psi and may help to distinguish between different scenarios. the transverse momentum distribution which depends more directly on the production mechanism may contain additional information about the nature of the medium and J/\psi and may help to distinguish between different scenarios. transverse momentum I anomalous suppression regeneration comover mechanism no regeneration at SPS very important leakage effect ! direct production & nuclear absorption as initial condition

Workshop on QCD and RHIC Physics, Hefei, July near side correlation at LHC we take drag coefficient to be a parameter charactering the coupling strength * c quark motion in QGP: * QGP evolution: ideal hydrodynamics for strongly interacting quark-gluon plasma: ● at RHIC, the back-to-back correlation is washed out. ● at LHC, c quarks are fast thermalized, the strong flow push the D and Dbar to the near side! Zhu, Xu, Zhuang, PRL100, (2008) large drag parameter is confirmed by R_AA and v_2 of non-photonic electrons (PHENEX, 2007; Moore and Teaney, 2005; Horowitz, Gyulassy, 2007).
