摘要
In the framework of a model based an nuclear absorption plus comover interaction, we compute the E-T distribution of the J/psi in PbPb collisions at SPS and compare it with available NA50 data. Our analysis suggests that the existence of new physics (deconfinement phase transition) in the region E(T)less than or similar to 100 GeV is unlikely and that signals of new physics should rather be searched in the region E(T)greater than or similar to 100 GeV. The E-T dependence of the J/psi transverse momentum has been computed, At large E-T it turns out to be much flatter in the comover approach than in a phase transition framework. Estimates of the J/psi suppression at RHIC and LHC energies are also given. [S0556-2813(99)010011-8].
