In a transient magnetic field, heavy quarkonium bound states evolve non adiabatically. In presence of a strong magnetic field, $J/Psi$ and $Upsilon(1S)$ become more tightly bound than we expected earlier for a pure thermal medium. We have shown that in a time varying magnetic field, there is a possibility of moderate suppression of $J/Psi$ through the non adiabatic transition to continuum where as the $Upsilon(1S)$ is so tightly bound that can not be dissociated through this process. We have calculated the dissociation probabilities up to the first order in the time dependent perturbation theory for different values of initial magnetic field intensity.

The dissociation of heavy quarkonia in the constrained space is calculated at leading order compared with that in infinitely large medium. To deal with the summation of the discrete spectrum, a modified Euler-Maclaurin formula is developed as our numerical algorithm. We find that with the constraint in space, the dissociation of quarkonia at early time becomes negligible.
We have investigated the effects of strong magnetic field on the properties of quarkonia immersed in a thermal medium of quarks and gluons and studied its quasi-free dissociation due to the Landau-damping. Thermalizing the Schwinger propagator in the lowest Landau levels for quarks and the Feynman propagator for gluons in real-time formalism, we have calculated the resummed retarded and symmetric propagators, which in turn give the real and imaginary components of dielectric permittivity, respectively. The magnetic field affects the large-distance interaction more than the short-distance interaction, as a result, the real part of potential becomes more attractive and the magnitude of imaginary part too becomes larger, compared to the thermal medium in absence of strong magnetic field. As a consequence the average size of $J/psi$s and $psi^prime$s are increased but $chi_c$s get shrunk. Similarly the magnetic field affects the binding of $J/psi$s and $chi_c$s discriminately, i.e. it decreases the binding of $J/psi$ and increases for $chi_c$. However, the further increase in magnetic field results in the decrease of binding energies. On contrary the magnetic field increases the width of the resonances, unless the temperature is sufficiently high. We have finally studied how the presence of magnetic field affects the dissolution of quarkonia in a thermal medium due to the Landau damping, where the dissociation temperatures are found to increase compared to the thermal medium in absence of magnetic field. However, further increase of magnetic field decreases the dissociation temperatures. For example, $J/psi$s and $chi_c$s are dissociated at higher temperatures at 2 $T_c$ and 1.1 $T_c$ at a magnetic field $eB approx 6~{rm{and}}~4~m_pi^2$, respectively, compared to the values 1.60 $T_c$ and 0.8 $T_c$ in the absence of magnetic field, respectively.
We study the effect of magnetic field on heavy quark-antiquark pair in both Einstein-Maxwell(EM) and Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton(EMD) model. The interquark distance, free energy, entropy, binding energy and internal energy of the heavy quarkonium are calculated. It is found that the free energy suppresses and the entropy increases quickly with the increase of the magnetic field $B$. The binding energy vanishes at smaller distance when increasing the magnetic field, which indicates the quark-antiquark pair dissociates at smaller distance. The internal energy which consists of free energy and entropy will increase at large separating distance for non-vanishing magnetic field. These conclusions are consistent both in the EM and EMD model. Moreover, we also find that the quarkonium will dissociate easier in the parallel direction than that in the transverse direction for EMD model, but the conclusion is opposite in EM model. Lattice results are in favor of EMD model. Besides, a Coulomb-plus-linear potential(Cornell potential) can be realized only in EMD model. Thus, a dilaton field is proved to be important in holographic model. Finally, we also show that the free energy, entropy and internal energy of a single quark in EMD model with the presence of magnetic field.
The masses and decay widths of charmonium states are studied in the presence of strong magnetic fields. The mixing between the pseudoscalar and vector charmonium states at rest is observed to lead to appreciable negative (positive) shifts in the masses of the pseudoscalar (longitudinal component of the vector) charmonium states in vacuum/hadronic medium in the presence of high magnetic fields. The pseudoscalar and vector charmonium masses in the hadronic medium, calculated in an effective chiral model from the medium changes of a scalar dilaton field, have additional significant modifications due to the mixing effects. The masses of the $D$ and $bar D$ mesons in the magnetized hadronic matter are calculated within the chiral effective model. The partial decay widths of the vector charmonium state to $Dbar D$ are computed using a field theoretical model for composite hadrons with quark/antiquark constituents, and are compared to the decay widths calculated using an effective hadronic Lagrangian. The effects of the mixing are observed to lead to significant contributions to the masses of the pseusoscalar and vector charmonium states, and an appreciable increase in the decay width $psi(3770) rightarrow Dbar D$ at large values of the magnetic fields. These studies of the charmonium states in strong magnetic fields should have observable consequences on the dilepton spectra, as well as on the production of the open charm mesons and the charmonium states in ultra relativistic heavy ion collision experiments.
The masses of the strange mesons ($K$, $K^*$ and $phi$) are investigated in the presence of strong magnetic fields. The changes in the masses of these mesons arise from the mixing of the pseusdoscalar and vector mesons in the presence of a magnetic field. For the charged mesons, these mass modifications are in addition to the contributions from the lowest Landau energy levels to their masses. The decay widths, $phi rightarrow Kbar K$ and $K^* rightarrow Kpi$, in the presence of the magnetic field are studied using a field theoretic model of composite hadrons with constituent quarks/antiquarks. The model uses the free Dirac Hamiltonian in terms of the constituent quark fields as the light quark antiquark pair creation term and explicit constructions for the meson states in terms of the constituent quarks and anitiquarks to study the decay processes. The study of the masses and decay widths of the strange mesons in strong magnetic fields can have observable consequences on the production of the open and hidden strange mesons in the peripheral ultra high energy collisions at LHC, where the created magnetic field can be huge.
