“…The multiplicity detector of the NA50 experiment, with its good granularity, allows to measure the charged particle multiplicity as a function of pseudorapidity, providing in particular the particle density at midrapidity. This observable gives information about initial conditions such as the energy density, whose knowledge is relevant for the interpretation of the anomalous J/ψ suppression, observed by the NA50 experiment in Pb-Pb collisions [1,2,3], in terms of the threshold for the creation of a new state of matter.…”

“…In most central collisions, the J/Ψ events are significantly suppressed with respect to what is expected from normal nuclear absorption as measured in lighter systems [2,3,4,5]. According to theoretical predictions made more than ten years ago by Matsui and Satz [6], this anomalous J/Ψ suppression could be a sign of the awaited formation of a quark-gluon plasma in nucleus-nucleus collisions at very high energy.…”

“…Very interesting results have been obtained recently by the NA50 experiment at CERN concerning J/Ψ production in Pb + Pb collisions at P/A = 158 GeV/c [1,2,3,4,5]. In most central collisions, the J/Ψ events are significantly suppressed with respect to what is expected from normal nuclear absorption as measured in lighter systems [2,3,4,5].…”
