We have studied the production of J/ ψ , ψ ′ and prompt muon pairs in the mass continuum from a sample of sulfur-uranium interactions at 200 GeV/c per nucleon. We report, in this letter, results obtained for the transverse momentum distributions and their dependence on the transverse energy released in the collision, used as an estimator of the centrality of the nucleus-nucleus interaction.

psi-Prime and J / psi production in p W, p U and S U interactions at 200-GeV/nucleon

The NA38 collaboration Baglin, C. ; Bussière, A. ; Guillaud, J.P. ; et al.

Ψ′ and J/Ψ yields are compared in p-W, p-U and S-U interactions at 200 GeV/nucleon. Their ratio decreases from proton-t to sulphur-induced reactions. It also decreases in sulphur-induced reactions from peripheral to central collisions. This result could indicate that the Ψ′ and J/Ψ suppression mechanisms have different origins in p- and S-induced reactions.

J / psi, psi-prime and muon pair production in p - W and S - U collisions

The NA38 collaboration Abreu, M.C. ; Baglin, C. ; Baldit, A. ; et al.

In this paper we present a study on the production of the J ψ and ψ′ resonances, decaying into muon pairs, in S-U collisions, at 200 GeV per incident nucleon. We find that the ratio between ψ′ and tJ ψ yields decreases as E T , the neutral transverse energy produced in the collision, increases. There is also a clear decrease of this ratio when going from p-W to S-U interactions. Assuming the high mass continuum to be Drell-Yan we discuss the possible understanding of the intermediate dimuon mass region as a superposition of Drell-Yan (extrapolated down in mass) and muon pairs from the semileptonic decays of charmed mesons. The p-W data is found to be explained by this procedure. However, the S-U data seems to be incompatible with a linear extrapolation from the proton-nucleus results.
