Description

Quarkonium serves as a powerful probe for studying the formation and properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). In heavy-ion collisions, its production is influenced by an interplay of different effects, including dissociation in the hot medium, recombination of heavy quarks within the QGP, and cold nuclear matter effects arising from the presence of the nuclear environment. Examining quarkonia production across various collision systems - proton-proton, proton-nucleus, and nucleus-nucleus - and at different beam energies enables a detailed investigation of these effects and provides deeper insights into the properties of the QGP. This contribution presents a summary of key experimental results on quarkonia production, with particular focus on the latest findings from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments.
