Abstract

The NA60 experiment has measured the production of muon pairs and charged particles in In+In collisions at a beam energy of 158 A GeV. For invariant dimuon masses below the φ, the spacetime averaged ρ spectral function was isolated by a novel procedure. It shows a strong broadening but essentially no shift in mass. The production of J/ψ was measured as a function of the collision centrality. As in previous experiments studying Pb+Pb collisions an anomalous suppression is observed, setting in at approximately 90 participant nucleons. Using the charged particles, the reaction plane was reconstructed. The elliptic flow of charged particles increases with p_t showing a saturation for p_t > 2 GeV/c. For the first time, azimuthal distributions for J/ψ are shown.
