Bottomonium and Drell-Yan production in p-A collisions at 450 GeV

The NA50 collaboration Alessandro, B. ; Alexa, C. ; Arnaldi, R. ; et al.

The NA50 Collaboration has measured heavy-quarkonium production in p-A collisions at 450 GeV incident energy (sqrt(s) = 29.1 GeV). We report here results on the production of the Upsilon states and of high-mass Drell-Yan muon pairs (m > 6 GeV). The cross-section at midrapidity and the A-dependence of the measured yields are determined and compared with the results of other fixed-target experiments and with the available theoretical estimates. Finally, we also address some issues concerning the transverse momentum distributions of the measured dimuons.

Table 2

Mean pT and Mean PT**2 for Drell-Yann (4.5<MMUMU<8 GeV/c**2) Errors for Drell-Yann are purely statistical, error value for Upsilon includes a systematical error due to uncertianty in the extrapolation of the drell-yann yield into the upsilon region. The total error is anyway dominated by the statistical contribution.

Phi, rho, and omega production in p U, O U and S U reactions at 200-GeV per nucleon

Low mass muon pair production at high P T and low X F studied in pU, OU and SU 200 GeV per nucleon react ions. When energy density or projectile mass are increased, φ production is enhanced as compared with the yield of muon pairs in the mass continuum (1.7< M μμ < 2.4 GeV/ c 2 ), whereas the production of ω and ϱ, experimentally unresolved, remains approximately constant. This φ enhancement is in agreement with predictions based on quark-gluon plasma formation and, together with the previously reported J/Ψ suppression, puts severe constraints on a purely hadronic description of nucleus-nucleus collisions.

{$J/\psi$} and muon-pair cross-sections in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at 200 GeV per nucleon

Baglin, C. ; Baldisseri, A. ; Bussiere, A. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 270 (1991) 105-110, 1991.
Inspire Record 328409 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29301

Muon-pair production has been measured in pCu, pU, OCu, OU and SU collisions at 200 GeV per nucleon. The cross sections are compatible with the atomic number dependence ( A proj. A targ. ) α where α =0.91±0.04 for the J/ψ resonance and α =1.01±0.04 for muon pairs produced in the mass continuum between 1.7 and 2.7 GeV/ c 2 .
