Charmonium + Light Hadron Cross Sections

Abstract

In this contribution we summarize experimental information and theoretical results for the dissociation cross sections of charmonium by light hadrons. Theoretical predictions for these RHIC-related processes differ by orders of magnitude over the physically relevant energy range. The results found by the author and collaborators using a constituent interchange model, which predicts cross sections in the mb region near threshold, are discussed in more detail.
