Introduction (1) : J/Ψ suppression
• Dissociation of charmonia in deconfined phase is an interesting subject to understand QGP because
– J/Ψ suppression is one of the most important signals in heavy ion collisions.
– Recently, sequential J/Ψ suppression scenario is proposed.
– Not only J/Ψ itself but also other heavier charmonia play important roles for J/Ψ suppression.

• Current lattice studies of the charmonia spectral functions with MEM (based on Bayesian analysis) suggest
– S wave states (ηc, J/Ψ) seem to survive up to 1.5 Tc or higher.
– P wave states (χc) seem to dissolve just above Tc.
– Excited charmonia (Ψ’) have NOT been investigated well yet.
• There are still some problems– Ambiguities of MEM in terms of choice of default models for spectral
functions are known.
– It is suggested that constant mode contribution cause a difficulty to analyze meson correlators, especially for P wave.
We want to cross‐check recent lattice results with other methods.

• We investigate the chamonia dissociation in lattice QCD with following considerations.
– Spectral function consists of discrete spectra only due to spatial lattice size.
– When all charmonia fully dissolved above Tc, we naively expect:• Charmonia peaks should vanish and peaks of some scattering states may appears above Tc.
• Wave function for scattering states extend to large distances.
– To examine the expectations, we• study both effective masses and wave functions
• adopt mult‐state variatonal analysis to extract excited charmonia
• subtract the constant mode contribution from the moesn correlators and wave functions

Conclusion
• Charmonia dissociation are studied with variational analysis in quenched anisotropic lattice QCD.
– Constant mode contribution for meson correlators is taken into account.
– Spatial boundary condition dependence of effective masses are examined.
– Temperature and spatial size dependence of wave function’s shape are investigated.
– There is large constant mode effect for P wave above Tc.
P wave charmonia have small change up to 2.3Tc when constant mode effect is considered.
– No clear signal of scattering states appears up to 2.3Tc.
– We find no clear evidences of dissociation for the all charmonium states (ηc, J/ψ, χc0 and their first excited states) up to 2.3Tc so far.
