Abstract: This document reports on the measurement of the prompt and non-prompt J/ψ in proton-lead collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 34.6 nb−1 recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2013. Prompt J/ψ and non-prompt J/ψ from b-hadron decays are measured and investigated separately, via their μ+μ− decay mode. The differential production cross section is presented in the range 2 <pT< 30 GeV/c and rapidity -2.87 <yCM< 1.93 in the proton-nucleon center-of-mass frame. The ratio of the forward and backward production yields is measured in bins of pT, rapidity and a variable describing the event activity. The prompt and non-prompt J/ψ yields at forward rapidities are smaller than those at backward rapidities, with a dependence on the event activity. These results point to the presence of cold nuclear matter effects expected for pPb collisions. | ||

Figure 1-a:
Invariant-mass (a) and pseudo-proper decay length distributions (b) of μ+μ− pairs for two analysis bins. The projections of the 2D fit function onto the respective axes are overlaid as black solid lines. The red dashed lines show the fitted contribution of non-prompt J/ψ. The fitted background contributions are shown by blue dotted lines. |
