  We investigate the production of hadrons in nuclear collisions within the
framework of the thermal (or statistical hadronization) model. We discuss both
the ligh-quark hadrons as well as charmonium and provide predictions for the
LHC energy. Even as its exact magnitude is dependent on the charm production
cross section, not yet measured in Pb-Pb collisions, we can confidently predict
that at the LHC the nuclear modification factor of charmonium as a function of
centrality is larger than that observed at RHIC and compare the experimental
results to these predictions.
