Abstract: The second-order (v2) and third-order (v3) Fourier coefficients describing the azimuthal anisotropy of prompt and nonprompt J/ψ and prompt ψ(2S) mesons are measured in PbPb collisions at √sNN= 5.02 TeV. The analysis uses a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.6 nb−1 recorded with the CMS detector in 2018. J/ψ and ψ(2S) mesons are reconstructed using their dimuon decay channel. The v2 and v3 values are extracted using the scalar product method and studied as functions of meson transverse momentum and PbPb collision centrality. The measured v2 values for the prompt J/ψ mesons are larger than of those of nonprompt J/ψ mesons. The study of azimuthal anisotropy for prompt ψ(2S) mesons is reported for the first time, showing v2 larger than that of J/ψ mesons. | ||

Summary |
The second-order (v2) and third-order (v3) Fourier coefficients of the azimuthal distributions for prompt and nonprompt J/ψ mesons and prompt ψ(2S) mesons are measured in PbPb collisions as functions of pT and PbPb collision centrality. The v2 values for prompt and nonprompt J/ψ mesons both indicate a decreasing trend from mid-central towards central collision events. On the other hand, the v2 is found to be flat for pT> 9 GeV/c for prompt J/ψ mesons while the dependence on pT is found to be weak for nonprompt J/ψ mesons. The prompt J/ψ v2 values are found to be larger than that of nonprompt J/ψ throughout studied kinematic region, suggesting different in-medium effects for charm and beauty quarks. The observation of sizable and flattened v2 values at high-pT for prompt J/ψ mesons provides a hint of the contribution of jet quenching for prompt J/ψ suppression. The v3 values of prompt and nonprompt J/ψ are reported for the first time, where the results show consistency with zero in the measured pT and centrality intervals. Also, the v2 and v3 values for prompt ψ(2S) mesons are measured for the first time. The results show larger v2 values than J/ψ mesons in mid-pT region, indicating different degrees of recombination contribution for J/ψ and ψ(2S) mesons. The measured v3 values for both J/ψ and ψ(2S) are found to be consistent to zero within uncertainties in the overall kinematic range. These measurements provide a new insight in the understanding of the dynamics and in-medium effects of charmonia in heavy ion collisions. |
