摘要

Nuclear and High Energy Physics
The inclusive J/ψ production has been studied in Pb–Pb and pp collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair s <sub>NN</sub> =5.02�TeV, using the ALICE detector at the CERN LHC. The J/ψ meson is reconstructed, in the centre-of-mass rapidity interval 2.5>y<4 and in the transverse-momentum range p <sub>T</sub> <12�GeV/c, via its decay to a muon pair. In this Letter, we present results on the inclusive J/ψ cross section in pp collisions at s=5.02�TeV and on the nuclear modification factor R <sub>AA</sub> . The latter is presented as a function of the centrality of the collision and, for central collisions, as a function of the transverse momentum p <sub>T</sub> of the J/ψ. The measured R <sub>AA</sub> values indicate a suppression of the J/ψ in nuclear collisions and are then compared to our previous results obtained in Pb–Pb collisions at s <sub>NN</sub> =2.76�TeV. The ratio of the R <sub>AA</sub> values at the two energies is also computed and compared to calculations of statistical and dynamical models. The numerical value of the ratio for central events (0–10% centrality) is 1.17�0.04(stat)�0.20(syst). In central events, as a function of p <sub>T</sub> , a slight increase of R <sub>AA</sub> with collision energy is visible in the region 2<p <sub>T</sub> <6�GeV/c. Theoretical calculations qualitatively describe the measurements, within uncertainties.
