Mechanisms suppressing charmonia at SPS are reviewed, neither of which is important at RHIC. On the other hand, coherence, or shadowing of c-quarks and gluons barely seen at SPS, become a dominant effect at RHIC providing a much stronger suppression. A onset of coherence at Fermilab energies explains the observed cross section ratio steeply falling at large Feynman x_F. In nuclear collisions variation of charmonium suppression with x_F suggests a sensitive probe for QGP.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2001-06-01T12:30:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "charmonium production", "charmonium suppression", "nuclear collisions variation", "nuclear collisions drastically changes", "fermilab energies explains" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
