Abstract

We adress the question of how a c-c-state (a J/ψ) can be dissociated by the strong color electric fields when moving through a color electric flux tube. The color electric flux tube and the dissociation of the heavy quarkonia state are both described within the Friedberg-Lee color dielectric model. We speculate on the importance of such an effect with respect to the observed J/ψ-suppression in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions.
