摘要
We investigate the in-medium modification of the charmonium break-up process due to the Mott effect for light (pi) and open-charm (D, D*) mesons at the chiral/deconfinement phase transition. A model calculation for the process J/psi + pi --> D + (D) over bar* + h.c. is presented which demonstrates that the Mott effect for the D-mesons leads to a threshold effect in the thermal averaged break-up cross section. This effect is suggested as an explanation of the phenomenon of anomalous J/psi suppression in the CERN NA50 experiment. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. AH rights reserved.
