J/Psi suppression in an expanding equilibrium hadron gas
Abstract
Description
We consider an ideal gas of massive hadrons in thermal and chemical equilibrium. The finite-size gas expands longitudinally in accordance with Bjorken law. Also the transverse expansion in a form of the rarefaction wave is considered. We show that J/Psi suppression in such an environment, when combined with the disintegration in nuclear matter, agrees qualitatively well with NA38 and NA50 data.
