Charged-particle nuclear modification factors in XeXe collisions at ${\sqrt {\smash [b]{s_{_{\mathrm {NN}}}}}}= $ 5.44 TeV
Abstract: The differential yields of charged particles having pseudorapidity within $|\eta| < $ 1 are measured using 3.42 $\mu$b$^{-1}$ of XeXe collisions at ${\sqrt {\smash [b]{s_{_{\mathrm {NN}}}}}}= $ 5.44 TeV collected in 2017 by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The yields are reported as functions of collision centrality and transverse momentum, $p_{\mathrm{T}}$, from 0.5 to 100 GeV. A previously reported $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ spectrum from pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}= $ 5.02 TeV is extrapolated in center-of-mass energy to form a suitable reference for comparison. The nuclear modification factors, $R^{*}_{\mathrm{AA}}$, are constructed with this extrapolated reference and compared to previous measurements and theoretical predictions. In head-on collisions the $R^{*}_{\mathrm{AA}}$ is suppressed by a factor of six in the $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ range of 6-9 GeV but increases to approximately 0.7 at 100 GeV. A ratio between the XeXe spectra and previously reported spectra from PbPb collisions at ${\sqrt {\smash [b]{s_{_{\mathrm {NN}}}}}}= $ 5.02 TeV indicates a notably smaller suppression of charged-particle production for the same centrality selection and $p_{\mathrm{T}} > $ 6 GeV. However, the suppression in XeXe events is slightly greater than in PbPb collisions when comparing selections having a similar number of participating nucleons.

Summary
The transverse momentum, $ {p_{\mathrm{T}}} $, spectra of charged particles having pseudorapidity $ | {\eta} | < 1$ have been measured in several ranges of collision centrality for XeXe collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.44 TeV. A pp reference spectrum for the same energy has been extrapolated from an existing measurement at ${\sqrt{s}} = $ 5.02 TeV using a scaling function calculated from simulated events. The nuclear modification factor with extrapolated reference, $ {R^{*}_{\text{AA}}} $, has been constructed from these spectra. In central events it is found to be suppressed by a factor of approximately 6 in the $ {p_{\mathrm{T}}} $ range of 6-9 GeV, before increasing to a value of around 0.7 at 100 GeV. This suppression is less than what has been observed in central PbPb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV. A ratio of the charged-particle spectra in these two collision systems indicates this can not be completely attributed to the difference in collision energy. Charged particle production in XeXe collisions is found to be slightly more suppressed than in PbPb collisions that have a similar number of participating nucleons rather than similar centrality. Taken together, these observations indicate that the strength of parton energy loss depends on the collision system size. Predictions from the Djordjevic, scet$_G$ and cujet3.1/cibjet models are found to agree with the measured $ {R^{*}_{\text{AA}}} $. A model of Andres et al. lies on the upper edge of $ {R^{*}_{\text{AA}}} $ for central events. Finally, calculation using a linear Boltzmann transport model also agrees with the data well, except for the kinematic range 20 $ < {p_{\mathrm{T}}} < $ 60 GeV in central events, where it follows the upper edge of the data. These measurements confirm the creation of a hot medium in XeXe collisions and constrain the system size dependence of hot nuclear medium effects.
