$J/\psi$ Gluonic Dissociation Revisited : I. Fugacity, Flux And Formation Time Effects

Abstract

We revisit the standard treatment [Xu, Kharzeev, Satz and Wang, Phys. Rev. C {\bf 53}, 3051 (1996)] of $J/\psi$ suppression due to gluonic bombardment in an equilibrating quark-gluon plasma. Effects arising from gluon fugacity, relative $g-\psi$ flux, and $\psi$ meson formation time are correctly incorporated in the formulation of the gluon number density, velocity-weighted cross section, and the survival probability. Our new formulae are applied to numerically study the pattern of $J/\psi$ suppression in the central rapidity region at RHIC/LHC energies. The temperature and transverse momentum dependence of our graphs have noticeable differences from those of Xu et al.
