Abstract:
This note reports the measurement of prompt ψ\psi(2S) production in proton-lead (pPb) and proton-proton (pp) collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02~\mathrm{TeV}. The results are based on pPb and pp data samples collected by CMS at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 34.6 nb1^{-1} and 28.0 pb1^{-1} respectively. The nuclear modification factor, RpPbR_{\rm pPb}, is calculated for prompt ψ\psi(2S) in the kinematic interval 4<pT<30 GeV/c4 < p_{T} < 30~\mathrm{GeV}/c and 2.4<yCM<1.93-2.4 < y_{\rm CM} < 1.93, and compared to the RpPbR_{\rm pPb} of prompt J/ψJ/\psi. The RpPbR_{\rm pPb} of the excited state is found to be smaller than the RpPbR_{\rm pPb} of the ground state, over the whole kinematic range studied. The suppression is more pronounced in the region of negative rapidity and pT<10 GeV/cp_{T} < 10~\mathrm{GeV}/c.
