Quarkonium production via recombination

Abstract

The contrast between model predictions for the transverse momentum spectra of J/Psi observed in Au-Au collisions at RHIC is extended to include effects of nuclear absorption. We find that the difference between initial production and recombination is enhanced in the most central collisions. Models utilizing a combination of these sources may eventually be able to place constraints on their relative magnitudes.

Based on invited plenary talk at the 2nd International Conference on Hard and Electromagnetic Probes of High-Energy Nuclear Collisions, Asilomar, CA, June 9-16, 2006, to be published in Nucl. Phys. A
