Carlos Lourenco (CERN):

The beauty of quarkonium suppression, from the SPS to the LHC

Abstract:

I will review the status of sequential quarkonium suppression as a clear-cut signature of quark-gluon plasma formation in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, from the charming times of J/ψ suppression at the SPS to the beautiful prospects of Upsilon studies at the LHC. Emphasis will be placed on the experimental measurements and on phenomenological studies aimed at helping in their interpretation.
