A detailed study of J/ ψ , ψ ′ and Drell-Yan production in S-U collisions has been performed by experiment NA38 at the CERN SPS. This paper presents production cross sections and their centrality dependence, based on the largest sample of S-U events collected by the experiment.

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.

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

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

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.
