Measurement of prompt ψ(2S) production cross sections in proton-lead and proton-proton collisions at sNN= 5.02 TeV
Phys. Lett. B 790 (2019) 509
Abstract: Measurements of prompt ψ(2S) meson production cross sections in proton-lead (pPb) and proton-proton (pp) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of sNN= 5.02 TeV are reported. The results are based on pPb and pp data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 34.6 nb1 and 28.0 pb1, respectively. The nuclear modification factor RpPb is measured for prompt ψ(2S) in the transverse momentum range 4 <pT< 30 GeV/c and the center-of-mass rapidity range 2.4<yCM<1.93. The results on ψ(2S) RpPb are compared to the corresponding modification factor for prompt J/ψ mesons and are found to be more suppressed than the J/ψ states over the entire kinematic range studied.

Summary
The data collected by CMS in pp and pPb collisions at sNN= 5.02 TeV are used to investigate prompt ψ(2S) meson production. The results are based on data samples corresponding to integrated luminosities of 28.0 pb1 for pp collisions and 34.6 nb1 for pPb collisions. The nuclear modification factor (RpPb) of prompt ψ(2S), in the kinematic range 4 <pT<30 GeV/c and 2.4<yCM<1.93, is determined and compared to that of prompt J/ψ mesons, reported in Ref. [31]. In the ranges 4 <pT< 6.5 and 6.5 <pT< 10 GeV/c the value RpPb for prompt ψ(2S) production remains below unity independent of rapidity, while in the highest pT bin (10 <pT< 30 GeV/c) it is consistent with unity (although systematically smaller). The RpPb values of prompt J/ψ lie systematically above those of prompt ψ(2S) mesons, indicating different nuclear effects in the production of the two states. The effects of nuclear parton distribution functions or coherent energy loss are expected to affect the RpPb of prompt J/ψ and ψ(2S) by a similar amount, thus the results hint the presence of final-state interactions with the medium produced in pPb collisions.
