Abstract: (Springer)
The production of inclusive, prompt and non-prompt J/ψ was studied for the first time at midrapidity (−1.37 < ycms_{cms}< 0.43) in p-Pb collisions at sNN \sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} = 8.16 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The inclusive J/ψ mesons were reconstructed in the dielectron decay channel in the transverse momentum (pT_{T}) interval 0 < pT_{T}< 14 GeV/c and the prompt and non-prompt contributions were separated on a statistical basis for pT_{T}> 2 GeV/c. The study of the J/ψ mesons in the dielectron channel used for the first time in ALICE online single-electron triggers from the Transition Radiation Detector, providing a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 689 ± 13 μb1^{−1}. The proton-proton reference cross section for inclusive J/ψ was obtained based on interpolations of measured data at different centre-of-mass energies and a universal function describing the pT_{T}-differential J/ψ production cross sections. The pT_{T}-differential nuclear modification factors RpPb_{pPb} of inclusive, prompt, and non-prompt J/ψ are consistent with unity and described by theoretical models implementing only nuclear shadowing.[graphic not available: see fulltext]
