J ψ and ψ′ production cross sections are studied for several proton induced reactions and in SU collisions, in the NA38 experiment, by measuring the resonances' decays in the muon pair channel. Whereas in p-A interactions the ψ ′/ J / ψ ratio remains constantin going from p-p and p-d collisions to p-W and p-U, with a mean value of 1.76% ± 0.04%, in the SU data it exhibits half of this value and decreases as centrality of the collision increases. Also studied are the differences between the γ π 0 ratio yields correlated with the J ψ mass range and other dimuon masses; no significant effect is seen.
