J/ψ suppression and low mass dileptons in the NA60 experiment

The NA60 experiment, at CERN SPS, has studied muon pairs production in p-A and A-A collisions at 158 GeV. After an introduction to explain why the dimuon measurements are a useful tool to investigate the formation of a deconfined medium and how these measurements can be performed, from an experime...
