Charmonium production in low energy nuclear collisions at SPS and FAIR: achievements \& prospects
Abstract
In this article, we review the status of the charmonium production in low energy fixed target proton-nucleus (p-A) and nucleus-nucleus (A-A) collisions as measured by different experimental collaborations at CERN-SPS, Fermilab and HERA accelerator facilities. The interplay of different cold and hot medium effects influencing the production of these cc bound states at low collision energies is discussed in detail. Prospect for upcoming charmonium measurements close to kinematic production threshold, in the CBM experiment at FAIR SIS100 and NA60+ experiment at CERN-SPS facilities are also investigated.
