Experimental review of quarkonium production in heavy-ion collisions

Quarkonium provides a sensitive probe to the properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Its production yield in heavy-ion collisions is modified by the color-screening effect, heavy quark (re)combination effect and cold nuclear matter effects. These effect have different sensitivity to various properties of the medium. Using quarkonium to experimentally study the properties of the QGP requires comprehensive measurements in heavy-ion collisions. In this article, we review the recent experimental measurements of different quarkonium states in heavy-ion collisions at the RHIC and the LHC.
