The study of the J ψ transverse momentum distribution in oxygen-uranium reactions at 200 GeV/nucleon shows that 〈 P T 〉 and 〈 P T 2 〉 increase with the transverse energy of the reaction. Muon pairs in the mass continuum do not exhibit the same behaviour. The comparison of the J ψ production rates in central and peripheral collisions shows a significant diminution for low P T central events.

Two parametrization of the D(SIG)/D(PT) are used: first is : PT*exp(-SLOPE*PT**CONST(C=PT)) and second is : PT*exp(-2*MT/CONST(C=MT)).

D(SIG)/D(PT) is parameterized as PT*exp(-SLOPE*PT**CONST).

D(SIG)/D(PT) is parameterized as PT*exp(-SLOPE*PT**CONST).
