Abstract: (Springer)
We present a set of semiquantitative predictions for the behaviour ofJ/Ψ suppression in heavy ion collisions as a function of the total transverse energy, nucleon numbers of colliding ions and theJ/Ψ transverse momentum. These predictions are based on the assumption that all ofJ/Ψ suppression is due toJ/Ψ and χ disintegrations in collisions with hadrons in a dense hadronic gas formed in the heavy ion collisions. The hydrodynamic evolution of the hadron gas is taken into account. The onset of the quarkgluon plasma formation should manifest itself by clear qualitative deviations fromJ/Ψ suppression calculated in this way, in particular as thresholds or kinks in theET-dependence, or as a threshold forJ/Ψ suppression as a function of the atomic number of the target, expected a Cu or below.
