Measurement of prompt ψ(2S) production cross sections in proton–lead and proton–proton collisions at √s_(NN) = 5.02 TeV

Abstract

Measurements of prompt ψ(2S) meson production cross sections in proton–lead (pPb) and proton–proton (pp) collisions at a nucleon–nucleon center-of-massenergy of √s_(NN) = 5.02 TeV are reported. The results are based on pPb and pp data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 34.6 nb^(−1) and 28.0 pb^(−1), respectively. The nuclear modification factor RpPb is measured for prompt ψ(2S) in the transverse momentum range 4 < p_T < 30 GeV/c and the center-of-mass rapidity range −2.4 < yCM < 1.93. The results on ψ(2S) RpPb are compared to the corresponding modification factor for prompt J/ψ mesons. The results point to different nuclear effects at play in the production of the excited charmonium state compared to the ground state, in the region of backward rapidity and for p_T < 10 GeV/c.
