Abstract

The NA60 Collaboration has studied muon pair production in p-A and In-In collisions at SPS energy. In the charm sector, the main focus is on the measurement of the J/ψ, but also open charm production can be addressed through the measurement of continuum muon pairs from semi-leptonic decays of charmed hadrons. In this contribution the latest results obtained on J/ψ suppression in cold and hot nuclear matter will be presented. In addition, first preliminary results on the A-dependence of open charm production in p-A collisions at 400 GeV will be discussed.
