J/$ψ$ and $ψ$(2S) production in p-Pb collisions with ALICE at the LHC

Published 7 Oct 2014 in hep-ex and nucl-ex | (1410.1761v2)

Abstract: The ALICE collaboration has studied the inclusive J/$\psi$ and $\psi(\mathrm{2S})$ production in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV at the CERN LHC. The J/$\psi$ measurement is performed in the $\mu{+}\mu{-}$ ( - 4.46 < $y_{cms}$ < - 2.96 and 2.03 < $y_{cms}$ < 3.53 ) and in the $e{+}e{-}$ ( - 1.37 < $y_{cms}$ < 0.46 ) decay channels, down to zero transverse momentum. The results are in fair agreement with theoretical predictions based on nuclear shadowing, as well as with models including, in addition, a contribution from partonic energy loss. Finally, the $\psi(\mathrm{2S})$ measurement in the $\mu{+}\mu{-}$ decay channel has been performed. In particular, a significantly smaller $\psi(\mathrm{2S})$ nuclear modification factor, with respect to the J$/\psi$ one, has been observed.
