Recent results on J/$\psi$ from experiment NA50

The J/$\psi$ production in Pb-Pb interactions induced by 158 GeV/c incident Pb ions is studied as a function of centrality, as estimated from the neutral transverse energy or, alternatively, from the very forward hadronic energy of the collision. The J/$\psi$ yield exhibits a similar pattern with a...

Sumario:The J/$\psi$ production in Pb-Pb interactions induced by 158 GeV/c incident Pb ions is studied as a function of centrality, as estimated from the neutral transverse energy or, alternatively, from the very forward hadronic energy of the collision. The J/$\psi$ yield exhibits a similar pattern with a first drop for mid-peripheral collisions and a steady decrease for the most central reactions. Conventional hadronic models axe unable to fairly reproduce this trend which finds a natural explanation in a deconfined quark-gluon phase scenario. The J/$\psi$ transverse momentum distributions and their dependence with centrality are also reviewed in this presentation. (20 refs).
