We study quantitatively the formation and evolution of B_c bound states in a space-time domain of deconfined quarks and gluons (quark-gluon plasma, QGP). At the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) one expects for the first time that typical central collisions will result in multiple pairs of heavy (in this case charmed) quarks. This provides a new mechanism for the formation of heavy quarkonia which depends on the properties of the deconfined region. We find typical enhancements of about 500 fold for the B_c production yields over expectations from the elementary coherent hadronic B_c-meson production scenario. The final population of bound states may serve as a probe of the plasma phase parameters.

Nuclear modification of $B_c$ mesons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions based on a linear Boltzmann transport model
A linear Boltzmann transport model with Yukawa and string interactions reproduces the measured B_c nuclear modification in Pb+Pb collisions and predicts larger low-pT B_c R_AA in Au+Au at RHIC than at the LHC.

Heavy-heavy and heavy-light mesons in cold nuclear matter
Using the quark-meson coupling model and effective Lagrangians, heavy and heavy-light mesons are predicted to feel attractive potentials in nuclei and form bound states, including new B_c-nucleus states.
