Abstract

In this paper we discuss the possibility of J/ψ disintegration due to Z(3) domain walls that are expected to form in a QGP medium. These domain walls give rise to a localized color electric field, which disintegrates J/ψ, on interaction, by changing its color composition and simultaneously exciting it to higher states of cc¯ system.
