Multiplicity dependence of light (anti-)nuclei production in p–Pb collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV

The measurement of the deuteron and anti-deuteron production in the rapidity range −1 < y < 0 as a function of transverse momentum and event multiplicity in p–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV is presented. (Anti-)deuterons are identified via their specific energy loss dE/dx and via their time-of- flight. Their production in p–Pb collisions is compared to pp and Pb–Pb collisions and is discussed within the context of thermal and coalescence models. The ratio of integrated yields of deuterons to protons (d/p) shows a significant increase as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity of the event starting from values similar to those observed in pp collisions at low multiplicities and approaching those observed in Pb–Pb collisions at high multiplicities. The mean transverse particle momenta are extracted from the deuteron spectra and the values are similar to those obtained for p and particles. Thus, deuteron spectra do not follow mass ordering. This behaviour is in contrast to the trend observed for non-composite particles in p–Pb collisions. In addition, the production of the rare 3He and 3He nuclei has been studied. The spectrum corresponding to all non-single diffractive p-Pb collisions is obtained in the rapidity window −1 < y < 0 and the pT-integrated yield dN/dy is extracted. It is found that the yields of protons, deuterons, and 3He, normalised by the spin degeneracy factor, follow an exponential decrease with mass number

Measurement of electrons from semileptonic heavy-flavour hadron decays at midrapidity in pp and Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV

The differential invariant yield as a function of transverse momentum (pT) of electrons from semileptonic heavy-flavour hadron decays was measured at midrapidity in central (0–10%), semi-central (30–50%) and peripheral (60–80%) lead–lead (Pb–Pb) collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV in the pT intervals 0.5–26 GeV/c (0–10% and 30–50%) and 0.5–10 GeV/c (60–80%). The production cross section in proton–proton (pp) collisions at √s = 5.02 TeV was measured as well in 0.5 < pT < 10 GeV/c and it lies close to the upper band of perturbative QCD calculation uncertainties up to pT = 5 GeV/c and close to the mean value for larger pT. The modification of the electron yield with respect to what is expected for an incoherent superposition of nucleon–nucleon collisions is evaluated by measuring the nuclear modification factor RAA. The measurement of the RAA in different centrality classes allows in-medium energy loss of charm and beauty quarks to be investigated. The RAA shows a suppression with respect to unity at intermediate pT, which increases while moving towards more central collisions. Moreover, the measured RAA is sensitive to the modification of the parton distribution functions (PDF) in nuclei, like nuclear shadowing, which causes a suppression of the heavy-quark production at low pT in heavy-ion collisions at LHC

Measurement of prompt D0^{0}, D+^{+}, D∗+^{*+}, and DS+ {\mathrm{D}}_{\mathrm{S}}^{+} production in p–Pb collisions at sNN \sqrt{{\mathrm{s}}_{\mathrm{NN}}} = 5.02 TeV

International audienceThe measurement of the production of prompt D$^{0}$, D$^{+}$, D$^{*+}$, and ${\mathrm{D}}_{\mathrm{S}}^{+}$ mesons in proton–lead (p–Pb) collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV, with an integrated luminosity of 292 ± 11 μb$^{−1}$, are reported. Differential production cross sections are measured at mid-rapidity (−0.96 < y$_{cms}$< 0.04) as a function of transverse momentum (p$_{T}$) in the intervals 0 < p$_{T}$< 36 GeV/c for D$^{0}$, 1 < p$_{T}$< 36 GeV/c for D$^{+}$ and D$^{*+}$, and 2 < p$_{T}$< 24 GeV/c for D$^{+}$ mesons. For each species, the nuclear modification factor R$_{pPb}$ is calculated as a function of p$_{T}$ using a proton-proton (pp) ref- erence measured at the same collision energy. The results are compatible with unity in the whole p$_{T}$ range. The average of the non-strange D mesons R$_{pPb}$ is compared with theoretical model predictions that include initial-state effects and parton transport model predictions. The p$_{T}$ dependence of the D$^{0}$, D$^{+}$, and D$^{*+}$ nuclear modification factors is also reported in the interval 1 < p$_{T}$< 36 GeV/c as a function of the collision centrality, and the central-to-peripheral ratios are computed from the D-meson yields measured in different centrality classes. The results are further compared with charged-particle measurements and a similar trend is observed in all the centrality classes. The ratios of the p$_{T}$-differential cross sections of D$^{0}$, D$^{+}$, D$^{*+}$, and ${\mathrm{D}}_{\mathrm{S}}^{+}$ mesons are also reported. The ${\mathrm{D}}_{\mathrm{S}}^{+}$ and D$^{+}$ yields are compared as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity for several p$_{T}$ intervals. No modification in the relative abundances of the four species is observed with respect to pp collisions within the statistical and systematic uncertainties

Azimuthal correlations of prompt D mesons with charged particles in pp and p–Pb collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02 TeV

International audienceThe measurement of the azimuthal-correlation function of prompt D mesons with charged particles in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} =5.02\ \hbox {TeV}$ and p–Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} = 5.02\ \hbox {TeV}$ with the ALICE detector at the LHC is reported. The $\mathrm{D}^{0}$, $\mathrm{D}^{+}$, and $\mathrm{D}^{*+}$ mesons, together with their charge conjugates, were reconstructed at midrapidity in the transverse momentum interval $3 0.3\ \hbox {GeV}/c$ and pseudorapidity $|\eta | < 0.8$. The properties of the correlation peaks appearing in the near- and away-side regions (for $\Delta \varphi \approx 0$ and $\Delta \varphi \approx \pi$, respectively) were extracted via a fit to the azimuthal correlation functions. The shape of the correlation functions and the near- and away-side peak features are found to be consistent in pp and p–Pb collisions, showing no modifications due to nuclear effects within uncertainties. The results are compared with predictions from Monte Carlo simulations performed with the PYTHIA, POWHEG+PYTHIA, HERWIG, and EPOS 3 event generators

Λc+\Lambda_\mathrm{c}^+ production in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=5.02\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02 TeVUC

A measurement of the production of prompt $\Lambda_\mathrm{c}^+$ baryons in Pb–Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC is reported. The $\Lambda_\mathrm{c}^+$ and $\bar{\Lambda_\mathrm{c}}^-$ were reconstructed at midrapidity (|y|<0.5) via the hadronic decay channel $\Lambda_\mathrm{c}^+$→pK$_{\rm S}^0$ (and charge conjugate) in the transverse momentum and centrality intervals 6 < $p_{\rm T}$ < 12 GeV/ c and 0–80%. The $\Lambda_\mathrm{c}^+$/D$^0$ ratio, which is sensitive to the charm quark hadronisation mechanisms in the medium, is measured and found to be larger than the ratio measured in minimum-bias pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV and in p–Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV. In particular, the values in p–Pb and Pb–Pb collisions differ by about two standard deviations of the combined statistical and systematic uncertainties in the common $p_{\rm T}$ interval covered by the measurements in the two collision systems. The $\Lambda_\mathrm{c}^+$/D$^0$ ratio is also compared with model calculations including different implementations of charm quark hadronisation. The measured ratio is reproduced by models implementing a pure coalescence scenario, while adding a fragmentation contribution leads to an underestimation. The $\Lambda_\mathrm{c}^+$ nuclear modification factor, $R_{\rm AA}$, is also presented. The measured values of the $R_{\rm AA}$ of $\Lambda_\mathrm{c}^+$, D$_{\rm s}^+$ and non-strange D mesons are compatible within the combined statistical and systematic uncertainties. They show, however, a hint of a hierarchy ($R_{\rm AA}^{D^0}$ < $R_{\rm AA}^{D_\mathrm{s}^+}$ < $R_{\rm AA}^{\Lambda_\mathrm{c}^+}$) , conceivable with a contribution from coalescence mechanisms to charm hadron formation in the medium

Longitudinal and azimuthal evolution of two-particle transverse momentum correlations in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=2.76TeV\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}} = 2.76 TeV

This paper presents the first measurements of the charge independent (CI) and charge dependent (CD) two-particle transverse momentum correlators G2CI and G2CD in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=2.76TeV by the ALICE collaboration. The two-particle transverse momentum correlator G2 was introduced as a measure of the momentum current transfer between neighboring system cells. The correlators are measured as a function of pair separation in pseudorapidity (Δ η ) and azimuth (Δ φ ) and as a function of collision centrality. From peripheral to central collisions, the correlator G2CI exhibits a longitudinal broadening while undergoing a monotonic azimuthal narrowing. By contrast, G2CD exhibits a narrowing along both dimensions. These features are not reproduced by models such as HIJING and AMPT. However, the observed narrowing of the correlators from peripheral to central collisions is expected to result from the stronger transverse flow profiles produced in more central collisions and the longitudinal broadening is predicted to be sensitive to momentum currents and the shear viscosity per unit of entropy density η/s of the matter produced in the collisions. The observed broadening is found to be consistent with the hypothesized lower bound of η/s and is in qualitative agreement with values obtained from anisotropic flow measurements.This paper presents the first measurements of the charge independent (CI) and charge dependent (CD) two-particle transverse momentum correlators $G_{2}^{\rm CI}$ and $G_{2}^{\rm CD}$ in Pb--Pb collisions at \sqrt{s_{\text{NN}}} = 2.76\;\text{\TeVe} by the ALICE collaboration. The two-particle transverse momentum correlator $G_{2}$ was introduced as a measure of the momentum current transfer between neighbouring system cells. The correlators are measured as a function of pair separation in pseudorapidity ($\Delta \eta$) and azimuth ($\Delta \varphi$) and as a function of collision centrality. From peripheral to central collisions, the correlator $G_{2}^{\rm CI}$ exhibits a longitudinal broadening while undergoing a monotonic azimuthal narrowing. By contrast, $G_{2}^{\rm CD}$ exhibits a narrowing along both dimensions. These features are not reproduced by models such as HIJING and AMPT. However, the observed narrowing of the correlators from peripheral to central collisions is expected to result from the stronger transverse flow profiles produced in more central collisions and the longitudinal broadening is predicted to be sensitive to momentum currents and the shear viscosity per unit of entropy density $\eta/s$ of the matter produced in the collisions. The observed broadening is found to be consistent with the hypothesized lower bound of $\eta/s$ and is in qualitative agreement with values obtained from anisotropic flow measurements

Inclusive J/ψ\psi production in Xe–Xe collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.44 TeV

Inclusive J/$\psi$ production is studied in Xe-Xe interactions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}= 5.44$ TeV, using the ALICE detector at the CERN LHC. The J/$\psi$ meson is reconstructed via its decay into a muon pair, in the centre-of-mass rapidity interval $2.5<y<4$ and down to zero transverse momentum. In this Letter, the nuclear modification factors $R_{\rm AA}$ for inclusive J/$\psi$, measured in the centrality range 0-90% as well as in the centrality intervals 0-20% and 20-90% are presented. The $R_{\rm AA}$ values are compared to previously published results for Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}= 5.02$ TeV and to the calculation of a transport model. A good agreement is found between Xe-Xe and Pb-Pb results as well as between data and the model
