Abstract

Muon pairs produced in Pb-Pb interactions at 158 GeV/c per nucleon are used to study the transverse momentum distributions of the J/ψ, ψ' and dimuons in the mass continuum. In particular, the dependence of these distributions on the centrality of the Pb - Pb collision is investigated in detail.
