Abstract

Strong and systematic suppression of the heavy quark bound states formation in nuclear collisions may provide a clear signature of quark-gluon plasma formation. I discuss the basic ideas and some related problems of this new signature proposal.

Presented at the 6th International Conference on Ultra-Relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions—Quark Matter 1987, 24–28 August 1987, Nordkirchen, Federal Republic of Germany
