| Abstract: We report a measurement of the azimuthal asymmetry of muons from the decay of coherently photoproduced $ \mathrm{J}/\psi $ mesons with respect to the second-order event plane in hadronic lead-lead (PbPb) collisions. The analysis is based on data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.36 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.26$ \text{nb}^{-1}$. The asymmetry is quantified using the amplitude $ A_{2} $ of the second-order harmonic modulation of the decay-muon azimuthal distribution. A negative $ A_{2} = - $ 0.194 $ \pm $ 0.022 (stat) $ \pm $ 0.018 (syst) is observed with a significance greater than five standard deviations for the first time. The $ A_{2} $ values show no significant dependence on the $ \mathrm{J}/\psi $ meson rapidity or the degree of overlap of the colliding ions. A theoretical model in which the coherently photoproduced $ \mathrm{J}/\psi $ meson inherits the linear polarization of the incident photon is consistent with the data. When considered together with recent measurements of coherent ${\rho}{0} \to \pi^{+}\pi^{-} $ photoproduction in ultraperipheral collisions, these results provide a direct observation of spin dependence in the azimuthal asymmetry of decay products from coherently photoproduced vector mesons. In addition, the observed correlation with the event plane may enable a novel approach to reaction plane determination in the future. | ||

| Summary |
| In summary, we present a measurement of the azimuthal asymmetry of muons from the decay of coherently photoproduced$ \mathrm{J}/\psi $ vector mesons with respect to the second-order event plane in hadronic lead-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.36 TeV. The asymmetry amplitude $A_{2}$ is found to be negative and shows no significant dependence on$ \mathrm{J}/\psi $ rapidity or collision centrality. These observations are consistent with theoretical expectations linking the linear polarization of the$ \mathrm{J}/\psi $ to the reaction plane. Therefore, it may be feasible to use the intrinsic polarization of coherently photoproduced vector mesons as a complementary reaction-plane estimator in heavy ion collisions. Such an approach could be particularly advantageous in small systems, such as proton-nucleus collisions. Together with previously measured positive amplitudes for spin-0 pion final states from coherently photoproduced ${\rho}{0} $ mesons, these results provide the first observation of spin-state dependence in azimuthal asymmetries. |
