Quarkonia: experimental possibilities
• In the next 10 years two major worldwide facilities, RHIC and LHC, will allow the study of heavy ion collisions at increased energies.
• Quarkonia are specific probe of the deconfinement, in this talk I try to summarize the main characteristics of the data that will be produced in the experiment measuring lepton pairs: NA60, PHENIX, CMS and ALICE.
• Not all number are official ones. they could be personal extrapolation

Global comparison between experiments
forward measurement at LHC will use low X domain ( down to 10-5)
Light ions allow higher statistic: ex: 3 106J/SiSi RHIC), 50000 ’
Qualitative Sketch of the future measurements
• Try to summarize the main trend of the future measurement (statistical)
• This is aiming at order of magnitude and global comparison, from NA50 to LHC, no conclusion can be drawn from precise comparison between experiments

to be compared between energies, these squares of significance should be recalculated for the relevant impact parameter ( central collisions here)
this is only part of the picture due to the others b states at high energies B decays populates all charmonias
Quarkonia versus Open flavour
• Same production mechanism (~gluon fusion)
The ideal reference ?
• But different hadronic or ion effects (energy loss, decays, combinatorial, …) remains
• Z0 good reference too, cleanly measured in CMS
• relative importance of Drell Yan production (qq fusion) % cc and bb (gg fusion) decays ?
• emeasures cc and bb decays
• ee, e Combinatorial background: more critical with energy
(when Psame domain(c) compares with Bc)
• B decay: mixing produce correlated like signs
• Also indirect production of resonances need to measure D and B production
Plausible dn/dy LHC ~ 15 (cc) 1.5 (bb)
Background
PBM
• open charm replaces the pi, K decays in the combinatorial background,
• Combinatorials are more critical than ever, specially for continuum: open flavour are signal and combinatorial background at the same time.
• This technical (method, biases) point has to be studied in detail (P.Crochet et al., M.Gadzinsky et al., D.J et al.,… ), already perhaps at SPS: +/- symetry, combinatorial effects, precisions,
Event mixing
Better suited ?

LHCALICE
(P.Crochet, P.Braun Munzinger 2001)
For instance: combinatorials in open flavour become dominant at LHC
But this effect decreases with mass(D.C. Zhou, D.J. 1997)
B mixing, exchanging charges, makes the background subtraction more questionnable (P.Crochet 2000)
BD produces correlated low mass pairs (double bump) (Lin,Vogt 1999)
Event mixing is effective here
EpilogueA large set of dimuon measurements will give access to complementary observations for Quarkonia production: c’SPS, RHIC)’’’’), bRHIC, LHC)Y (LHC)•X domains •Energy density •Statistics , backgrounds, references • in addition to ee, , and e measurements, direct measurement of open flavour is needed •Correlations with other observables (central electrons or any observable (strangeness, plane, jets,…) in PHENIX , perhaps ALICE )
• some room for possible upgrades: direct measurement of open charm (phenix), full use of detector capability (L3 trigger for Alice),…open beauty (single leptons) ?...
•Combinatorials: to be studied in more details
