INITIAL STATE SCATTERING AND J/Ψ HADROPRODUCTION ON NUCLEI
Keyword(s):
The pT-spectra of J/Ψ in hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at high energies are investigated in a model where gg→J/Ψg is assumed to be the dominant mechanism. The initial state scattering using the additive quark models is taken into account. We demonstrate good agreement between the J/ΨpT-spectra and our results. It is shown that the allowance for the quark re-scattering and J/Ψ absorption in nuclear matter makes it possible to describe at least the major part of the J/Ψ suppression effect in collisions of relativistic nuclei.
