Observation of excess J/[psi] yield at very low transverse momenta in Au+Au collisions at √sNN=200 GeV and U+U collisions at √sNN=193 GeV

We report on the first measurements of J/ψ production at very low transverse momentum (pT<0.2 GeV/c) in hadronic Au+Au collisions at √sNN=200 GeV and U+U collisions at √sNN=193 GeV. Remarkably, the inferred nuclear modification factor of J/ψ at midrapidity in Au+Au (U+U) collisions reaches about...
