The production of the J/ ψ and ψ ′ charmonia states has been studied, through their dimuon decay, in proton, Oxygen and Sulphur induced reactions, by the NA38 experiment at the CERN SPS. The proton data was collected with beams of 200 and 450 GeV, while the ion beams had an energy of 200 GeV per incident nucleon. The J/ ψ production cross-section per nucleon-nucleon collision exhibits a remarkably continuous pattern, as a function of the product of the mass numbers of the interacting nuclei, from pp up to S-U reactions. The same pattern is observed within S-U collisions, as a function of the collision centrality. While in p-A interactions both charmonia states exhibit the same A-dependence, in S-U collisions the ψ ′ production is very strongly suppressed.

Table 1

Results of fitting the 200 and 450 GeV J/PSI data separately with a power law parametrization SIG=SIG0*(A*B)**POWER, where A and B are the beam and targetmass numbers. The value obtained from a combined fit is also given, as well as the ratio between the values of SIG0 for the 200 and 450 GeV data sets.

Table 2

The J/PSI cross sections per nucleon (times the BR to di-muons) rescaled to 200 GeV/nucleon, using the SIG0 ratio detemined in the previous table, and to the cm rapidity window 0 to 1. The errors are combined statistical and systematic.

Table 3

The ratio between the PSI(3685) and the J/PSI production cross section, times their BR into di-muons, at an incident beam energy of 450 GeV per nucleon. The errors are combined statistical and systematic.

The A-Dependence of $J / \psi$ and $\psi^{\prime}$ Production at 800 GeV/c

The yield of J/ψ and ψ’ vector-meson states has been measured for 800-GeV protons incident on deuterium, carbon, calcium, iron, and tungsten targets. A depletion of the yield per nucleon from heavy nuclei is observed for both J/ψ and ψ’ production. This depletion exhibits a strong dependence on xF and pt. Within experimental errors the depletion is the same for the J/ψ and the ψ’.
