Abstract

The nuclear modification factor R_(AA) and the azimuthal anisotropy coefficient v_2 of prompt and nonprompt (i.e. those from decays of b hadrons) J/ψ mesons, measured from PbPb and pp collisions at √(s_NN) = 2.76 TeV at the LHC, are reported. The results are presented in several event centrality intervals and several kinematic regions, for transverse momenta p_T > 6.5 GeV/c and rapidity |y| < 2.4, extending down to p_T = 3 GeV/c in the 1.6 < |y| < 2.4 range. The v_2 of prompt J/ψ is found to be nonzero, but with no strong dependence on centrality, rapidity, or p_T over the full kinematic range studied. The measured v_2 of nonprompt J/ψ is consistent with zero. The R_(AA) of prompt J/ψ exhibits a suppression that increases from peripheral to central collisions but does not vary strongly as a function of either y or p_T in the fiducial range. The nonprompt J/ψ R_(AA) shows a suppression which becomes stronger as rapidity or p_T increases. The v_2 and R_(AA) of open and hidden charm, and of open charm and beauty, are compared.
