description

The formation of deconfined matter in high energy collisions is expected to result in reducedJ/ψ production. The finite space-time extension of any quark-gluon plasma thus produced leads to a rather characteristic dependence ofJ/ψ suppression on the longitudinal and transverse momentum of theJ/ψ. We study in particular the longitudinal momentum dependence and discuss its implications for nuclear collision experiments.
