Abstract: (Springer)
This paper reports the measurement of J/ψ\mathrm{J}/{\psi } meson production in proton–proton ( pp\mathrm {p}\mathrm {p} ) and proton–lead ( pPb\mathrm {p}\mathrm {Pb} ) collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02TeV5.02\,\text {TeV} by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The data samples used in the analysis correspond to integrated luminosities of 28 pb1\,\text {pb}^{-1} and 35 nb1\,\text {nb}^{-1} for pp\mathrm {p}\mathrm {p} and pPb\mathrm {p}\mathrm {Pb} collisions, respectively. Prompt and nonprompt J/ψ\mathrm{J}/{\psi } mesons, the latter produced in the decay of B{\mathrm {B}} hadrons, are measured in their dimuon decay channels. Differential cross sections are measured in the transverse momentum range of 2<pT<30GeV/c2<p_{\mathrm {T}} <30{\,\text {GeV}/{c}} , and center-of-mass rapidity ranges of yCM<2.4|y_\mathrm{{CM}} |<2.4 ( pp\mathrm {p}\mathrm {p} ) and 2.87<yCM<1.93-2.87<y_\mathrm{{CM}}<1.93 ( pPb\mathrm {p}\mathrm {Pb} ). The nuclear modification factor, RpPbR_{\mathrm {p}\mathrm {Pb}} , is measured as a function of both pTp_{\mathrm {T}} and yCMy_\mathrm{{CM}} . Small modifications to the J/ψ\mathrm{J}/{\psi } cross sections are observed in pPb\mathrm {p}\mathrm {Pb} relative to pp\mathrm {p}\mathrm {p} collisions. The ratio of J/ψ\mathrm{J}/{\psi } production cross sections in p\mathrm {p} -going and Pb-going directions, RFBR_\mathrm{{FB}} , studied as functions of pTp_{\mathrm {T}} and yCMy_\mathrm{{CM}} , shows a significant decrease for increasing transverse energy deposited at large pseudorapidities. These results, which cover a wide kinematic range, provide new insight on the role of cold nuclear matter effects on prompt and nonprompt J/ψ\mathrm{J}/{\psi } production.
