摘要
An anomalous suppression of the charmonium yield in central collisions was observed in studying charmonium production in collisions of Pb nuclei accelerated to a momentum of 158 GeV/c per nucleon with Pb target nuclei. It is shown that, in peripheral collisions, the ratio of the cross section for J/psi production to the cross section for the Drell-Yan process decreases exponentially (as in the case of collisions of lighter nuclei) owing to the ordinary absorption of J/psi in nuclear matter. The observed threshold effect of the anomalous suppression of charmonium production agrees well with the predictions based on the assumption of Debye color screening in the formation of quark-gluon plasma.
