The charmonium states with their different binding energies and radii dissolve at different temperatures of the medium produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Relative yields of charmonium and thus their survival have potential to map the properties of Quark Gluon Plasma. In this study, we estimate the combined effect of color screening, gluon-induced dissociation and recombination on charmonium production in heavy-ion collisions (Pb+Pb ions) at centre of mass energy ($sqrt{s_{rm NN}}$) = 5.02 TeV. The rate equations of dissociation and recombination are solved separately with a 2-dimensional accelerated expansion of fireball volume. To solve the recombination rate equation, we have used an approach of Bateman solution which ensures the dissociation of the recombined charmonium in the QGP medium. The modifications of charmonium states are estimated in an expanding QGP with the conditions relevant for Pb+Pb collisions at LHC.

Charmonium production at heavy-ion colliders is considered within the comovers interaction model. The formalism is extended by including possible secondary J/psi production through recombination and an estimate of recombination effects is made with no free parameters involved. The comovers interaction model also includes a comprehensive treatment of initial-state nuclear effects, which are discussed in the context of such high energies. With these tools, the model properly describes the centrality and the rapidity dependence of experimental data at RHIC energy, $sqrt{s}$ = 200 GeV, for both Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions. Predictions for LHC, $sqrt{s}$ = 5.5 TeV, are presented and the assumptions and extrapolations involved are discussed.
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.
This paper investigates the transverse momentum broadening effect for electromagnetic production of dileptons in ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions accompanied by nuclear dissociation. The electromagnetic dissociation probability of nuclei for different neutron multiplicities is estimated, which could serve as a centrality definition (i.e. impact parameter estimate) in ultra-peripheral collisions. In the framework of lowest-order QED, the acoplanarity of dilepton pairs is calculated for different neutron emission scenarios in ultra-peripheral collisions, indicating significant impact-parameter dependence. The verification of impact-parameter dependence is crucially important to understand the broadening effect observed in hadronic heavy-ion collisions.
The probability of the formation and decay of a dinuclear system is investigated for a wide range of relative orbital angular momentum values. The mass and angular distributions of the quasifission fragments are studied to understand the reaction mechanisms of the heavy ion collision of $^{78}$Kr(10$A$ MeV) + $^{40}$Ca within dinuclear system model. The quasifission products are found to contribute to the mass-symmetric region of the mass distribution in collisions with a large orbital angular momentum. The analysis of mass and angular distributions of quasifission fragments shows the possibility of the $180^circ$ rotation of the system so that projectile-like products can be observed in the forward hemisphere with large cross sections, which can explain the phenomenon observed recently in the ISODEC experiment.
The production of light (anti-)(hyper-)nuclei in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC is considered in the framework of the Saha equation, making use of the analogy between the evolution of the early universe after the Big Bang and that of Little Bangs created in the lab. Assuming that disintegration and regeneration reactions involving light nuclei proceed in relative chemical equilibrium after the chemical freeze-out of hadrons, their abundances are determined through the famous cosmological Saha equation of primordial nucleosynthesis and show no exponential dependence on the temperature typical for the thermal model. A quantitative analysis, performed using the hadron resonance gas model in partial chemical equilibrium, shows agreement with experimental data of the ALICE collaboration on d, $^3$He, $^3_Lambda$H, and $^4$He yields for a very broad range of temperatures at $T lesssim 155$ MeV. The presented picture is supported by the observed suppression of resonance yields in central Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC.
