Quarkonia Suppression in QGP Under Colour Screening Scenario at SPS,
RHIC and LHC
   [PDF]

P. K. Srivastava, M. Mishra, C. P. Singh
We present a modified colour screening model for $J/\psi$ suppression in the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) using quasi-particle model (QPM) as equation of state (EOS). Other theoretical ingredients incorporated in the model are feed-down from higher resonances namely, $\chi_c$, and $\psi^{'}$, dilated formation time for quarkonia and viscous effects of the QGP medium. Assuming further that the QGP is expanding with Bjorken's hydrodynamical expansion, the present model is used to analyze the centrality dependence of the $J/\psi$ suppression in mid-rapidity region and compare it with the data obtained from SPS, RHIC and LHC experiments. We find that the centrality dependence of the data for the survival probability at all energies is well reproduced by our model. We further compare our model predictions with the results obtained from the bag model EOS for QGP which has usually been used earlier in all such calculations and our results indicate that the present EOS yields a better result in comparison to the bag model.
