Résumé

The low mass dimuon spectra collected in p-U collisions by the NA38 experiment significantly exceeds the total cross section expected from previous analysis, done by other experiments. The 'excess' events have a harder p_T distribution than the muon pairs from η and ω Dalitz decays, expected to dominate the mass window 0.4-0.65 GeV/c². We conjecture that the excess events may be due to qq̄ annihilations, negligible at low p_T but made visible by the m_T cut applied in the NA38 data. Taking this assump_Tion to parametrise the p-U spectra, we proceed with the corresponding analysis of the S-Cu, S-U and Pb-Pb data, collected by the NA38 and NA50 experiments, comparing the measured low mass dimuon spectra with the 'expected cocktail'.
