Quarkonia production and elliptic flow in small systems measured with ALICE
Abstract
The production of quarkonia in hadronic collisions provides a unique testing ground for understanding quantum chromodynamics (QCD) since it involves both the perturbative and non-perturbative regimes of this theory. Given that a satisfactory description of quarkonia production has not yet been achieved, new measurements that can provide new insights, helping to constrain models, are needed. The ALICE apparatus allows to measure inclusive J/ production, as well as to separate prompt charmonia from those originating from b-hadron decays. The study of the azimuthal correlation of the emitted particles, e.g. via the measurement of the elliptic flow (), in high multiplicity proton-proton (pp) collisions can probe collective behaviour in small systems. In this contribution, we present new measurements of the inclusive, prompt and non-prompt J/ production in pp collisions at different collision energies, together with the J/ in high multiplicity pp collisions at =13 TeV.
