Measurements of ¢ and ¢' production at the CERN SPS are compared to predictions based on a hadronic model of charmonium suppression. Detailed information is presented to facilitate comparison to other analyses. Sensitivity of these conclusions to the model parameters is discussed.

Cross sections for J/¢,C' and Drell-Yan production in Pb+Pb collisions at 158xA GeV/c are presented and compared with results obtained by the NA38 and NA51 collaborations. The Pb+Pb data have been collected by the NA50 collaboration using the NA38 dimuon spectrometer. The Drell-Yan mechanism is foun
The strong suppression of J/~ production recently observed in Pb-Pb collisions can be accounted for by a model which relates the suppression mechanism to the local energy density. In Pb-Pb collisions, the latter reaches values larger than in any other system studied previously.
In this paper we present recent results from experiment NA49 on single-and multiparticle distributions obtained for Pb+Pb collisions at 158 GeV/nucleon at the CERN SPS. NA49 aims at a complete description of the hadronic final state of nuclear collisions, which will eventually allow us to establish
