Abstract
The dimuon production in 200 GeV/nucleon oxygen-uranium interactions is studied by the NA 38 Collaboration. The production of J/ψ, correlated with the transverse energy ET, is investigated and compared to the continuum, as a function of the dimuon mass M and transverse momentum PT. A value of 0.64±0.06 is found for the ratio (ψ/Continuum at high ET)/(ψ/Continuum at low ET), from which the J/ψ relative suppression can be extracted. This suppression is enhanced at low PT.
