Quarkonium production in p-Pb collisions with ALICE

Nuclear Experiment 2022-10-11 v1

Abstract

ALICE has measured quarkonium production in p-Pb collisions at backward (-4.46 << ycmsy_{\rm cms} << -2.96), mid (-1.37 << ycmsy_{\rm cms} << 0.43) and forward (2.03 << ycmsy_{\rm cms} << 3.53) rapidity (yy) regions down to zero transverse momentum (pTp_{\rm T}). The inclusive J/ψ\psi production has been studied at mid-yy in p-Pb interactions at sNN\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02 TeV and at forward and backward yy in p-Pb collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02 TeV and 8.16 TeV. The comparison of the J/ψ\psi production to the one of the loosely bound ψ\psi(2S) state is discussed, together with new results on the nuclear modification factors of the Υ\Upsilon(1S) and Υ\Upsilon(2S) states measured at forward and backward yy. All the results will be compared to those obtained at lower energies and with available theoretical calculations.
