We discuss the quarkonium production as a tool for the study of the Quark Gluon Plasma. In particular, we concentrate on the Cold Nuclear Matter effetcs. We show that quarkonium production is also useful for the study of Quantum Chromodynamics first principles and the nuclear Parton Distribution Fun

β¦ Synopsis
Heavy quarkonium is a sensitive probe of QCD matter -this is why strong "anomalous" J/Β’ suppression observed recently by the NA50 Collaboration at CERN has attracted considerable attention. Is it an unambiguous signal of the quark-gluon plasma, or just a peculiar combination of mundane nuclear effects? This talk is a mini-review of the existing theoretical explanations.

We study different stages of the neutron star cooling by computing neutron star properties at various temperatures and entropies using an effective chiral model including hadronic and quark degrees of freedom. Macroscopic properties of the star such as mass and radius are calculated and compared wit
