J/ψ yields in low energy nuclear collisions at SPS and FAIR: A baseline estimation

The yield of J/ψ mesons, produced in proton-nucleus (p+A) and nucleus-nucleus (A+A) collisions are estimated within a Glauber model ansatz for the upcoming low energy heavy-ion collision experiments at SPS and FAIR. A data driven parametrization is employed to incorporate the effects of Cold Nuclear Matter (CNM) on the J/ψ production cross-section.
