We have analyzed the latest NA50 data on transverse energy distributions and J/ψ suppression in Pb+Pb collisions. The transverse energy distribution was analysed in the geometric model of AA collisions. In the geometric model, fluctuations in the number of NN collisions at fixed impact parameter are taken into account. Analysis suggests that in Pb+Pb collisions, individual NN collisions produces less , than in other AA collisions. The nucleons are more transparent in Pb+Pb collisions. The

... erse energy dependence of the J/ψ suppression was obtained following the model of Blaizot et al, where charmonium suppression is assumed to be 100 density. With fluctuations in number of NN collisions taken into account, good fit to the data is obtained, with a single parameter, the threshold density.
