Abstract: (Springer)
The first measurement of J/ψ{{J}/\psi } and D0{{D}} ^0 production in PbNe collisions by the LHCb experiment in its fixed-target configuration is reported. The production of J/ψ{{J}/\psi } and D0{{D}} ^0 mesons is studied with a beam of lead ions with an energy of 2.5TeV\,\text {TeV} per nucleon colliding on gaseous neon targets at rest, corresponding to a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of sNN=68.5GeV\sqrt{s_{\scriptscriptstyle \text {NN}}} =68.5\,\text {GeV} . The J/ψ{{J}/\psi }/D0{{D}} ^0 production cross-section ratio is studied as a function of rapidity, transverse momentum and collision centrality. These data are compared with measurements from pNep\text {Ne} collisions at the same energy and show no difference in the observed J/ψ{{J}/\psi } suppression trend when comparing pNep\text {Ne} and PbNe peripheral collisions with PbNe central collisions.
