  All measured Feynman x_f distributions of the ratio, R, of j_psi production
in nuclei relative to production on protons fall off with x_f.
  They show [2] that absorption of charmonium cannot be the only source of
j_psi suppression and that energy loss of the constituents of the incident
proton prior to the j_psi production, because of the exponential sqrt(s)
dependence of the charmonium cross section, should not be neglected. Including
the effects of initial state energy loss we find that the latest measured
  Pb-Pb j_psi cross sections do not provide any evidence for deconfinement.
