ϒ production and nuclear modification at forward rapidity in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV
(2020)
The production of Υ mesons in Pb-Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sNN−−−√ = 5 TeV is measured with the muon spectrometer of ALICE at the LHC. The yields as well as the nuclear modification factors are determined in the forward rapidity region 2.5<y<4.0, as a function of rapidity, transverse momentum and collision centrality. The results show that the production of Υ(1S) is suppressed by a factor of about three with respect to the production in proton-proton collisions. For the first time, a significant Υ(2S) signal is observed at forward rapidity, indicating a suppression stronger by about a factor 2-3 with respect to the ground state. The measurements are compared with transport, hydrodynamic, comover and statistical hadronisation model calculations.
