Coherent J/Ψ and ψ' photoproduction at midrapidity in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV

The coherent photoproduction of J/Ψ and ψ' mesons was measured in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy √sNN = 5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector. Charmonia are detected in the central rapidity region for events where the hadronic interactions are strongly suppressed. The...

Zusammenfassung:The coherent photoproduction of J/Ψ and ψ' mesons was measured in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy √sNN = 5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector. Charmonia are detected in the central rapidity region for events where the hadronic interactions are strongly suppressed. The J/Ψ is reconstructed using the dilepton (l+l-) and proton-antiproton decay channels, while for the ψ' the dilepton and the l+l- π+π- decay channels are studied. The analysis is based on an event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 233 μb-1. The results are compared with theoretical models for coherent of J/Ψ and ψ' photoproduction. The coherent cross section is found to be in a good agreement with models incorporating moderate nuclear gluon shadowing of about 0.64 at a Bjorken-x of around 6x10−4, such as the EPS09 parametrization, however none of the models is able to fully describe the rapidity dependence of the coherent J/Ψ cross section including ALICE measurements at forward rapidity. The ratio of ψ' to J/Ψ coherent photoproduction cross sections was also measured and found to be consistent with the one for photoproduction off protons.
