Abstract
The NA50 Collaboration has measured heavy-quarkonium production in p-A collisions at 450 GeV incident energy (s=29.1GeV). We report here results on the production of the ϒ states and of high-mass Drell-Yan muon pairs (mμμ>6GeV/c2). The cross-section at midrapidity and the A-dependence of the measured yields are determined and compared with the results of other fixed-target experiments and with the available theoretical estimates. Finally, we also address some issues concerning the transverse momentum distributions of the measured dimuons.
