We report a new measurement of J/psi, psi' and Drell-Yan cross-sections, in the kinematical domain $-0.425<y_{\rm cm}<0.575$ and $-0.5<\cos\theta_{\rm CS}<0.5$, performed at the CERN-SPS using 400 GeV/c incident protons on Be, Al, Cu, Ag, W and Pb targets. The dependence of the charmonia production cross-sections on the size of the target nucleus allows to quantify the so-called normal nuclear absorption. In the framework of the Glauber model, this new measurement is combined with results previously obtained with the same apparatus, under different experimental conditions, and leads to a precise determination of the J/psi and psi' absorption cross-sections in the surrounding nuclear matter.

Production cross sections, per taregt nucleon for J/PSI and PSI(3685) and for Drell-Yann dimuon in the mass range of 2.9-4.5 GeV/c**, integrated in the phase space windows of the measurement.

Ratios of J/PSI, PSI(3685) and Drel Yann production cross sections, and for Drell-Yann dimuon in the mass range of 2.9-4.5 GeV/c**, integrated in the phase space windows of the measurement.

Absorption cross-section obtained with Glauber fits results only from this analysis.

Invariant mass spectrum of μ + μ − pairs produced by 70 GeV/ c protons in Be target are presented. Distinct enhancements in the mass regions of ϱ, ω mesons, φ meson and J/ψ particle are observed. For J/ψ production x and p ⊥ 2 distributions are given. The total cross section for the reaction p + Be → ( J ψ → μ + μ − ) + … is equal to 9.5 ± 2.5 nb/nucleus .
