Abstract:
The nuclear modification factor, RAAR_{\rm AA}, of charged particles produced in the η<1|\eta|<1 pseudorapidity region is measured at sNN=5.02 TeV\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02~\mathrm{TeV} using 404 μb1404~\mu\mathrm{b}^{-1} of PbPb and 25.8 pb125.8~\mathrm{pb}^{-1} of pp data collected by the CMS experiment at the end of 2015. The RAAR_{\rm AA} is presented in several bins of collision centrality, over the transverse momentum range of 0.7400 GeV0.7-400~\mathrm{GeV}. The measured RAAR_{\rm AA} in the 05%0-5\% most central collision class shows a maximum suppression by a factor of approximately 7.57.5 in the 69 GeV6-9~\mathrm{GeV} pTp_\mathrm{T} region, followed by a rising trend up to the highest transverse momenta measured in the analysis. The measurement is compared to earlier results at lower collision energies, and to theory predictions.
