Abstract: (Springer)
The nuclear modification factor RAAR_{\mathrm{AA}} and the azimuthal anisotropy coefficient v2v_{2} of prompt and nonprompt (i.e. those from decays of b hadrons) J/ψ{\mathrm{J}}/\psi mesons, measured from PbPb and pp collisions at sNN=2.76\sqrt{{s_{_{\text {NN}}}}} =2.76 TeV\,\mathrm{TeV} at the LHC, are reported. The results are presented in several event centrality intervals and several kinematic regions, for transverse momenta pT>6.5p_{\mathrm{T}} >6.5 GeV/c\,{\mathrm{GeV}}/{\mathrm{c}} and rapidity y<2.4|{y}|<2.4 , extending down to pT=3p_{\mathrm{T}} =3 GeV/c\,{\mathrm{GeV}}/{\mathrm{c}} in the 1.6<y<2.41.6<|{y}|<2.4 range. The v2v_{2} of prompt J/ψ{\mathrm{J}}/\psi is found to be nonzero, but with no strong dependence on centrality, rapidity, or pTp_{\mathrm{T}} over the full kinematic range studied. The measured v2v_{2} of nonprompt J/ψ{\mathrm{J}}/\psi is consistent with zero. The RAAR_{\mathrm{AA}} of prompt J/ψ{\mathrm{J}}/\psi exhibits a suppression that increases from peripheral to central collisions but does not vary strongly as a function of either y or pTp_{\mathrm{T}} in the fiducial range. The nonprompt J/ψ{\mathrm{J}}/\psi RAAR_{\mathrm{AA}} shows a suppression which becomes stronger as rapidity or pTp_{\mathrm{T}} increases. The v2v_{2} and RAAR_{\mathrm{AA}} of open and hidden charm, and of open charm and beauty, are compared.
