Abstract

The inclusive production of the charmonium state ψ(2S) was studied at √sNN = 8.16 TeV in proton-lead collisions, using the ALICE detector at the CERN LHC. The measurement is performed in the two centre of mass rapidity ranges, 2.03 < ycms < 3.53 and −4.46 < ycms < −2.96, by reconstructing the ψ(2S) decay to a muon pair. The results are compared to those obtained for the J/ψ at the same centre of mass energy by showing the ratios between the J/ψ and ψ(2S) production cross sections and by studying the nuclear modification factor (RpA) as a function of transverse momentum (pT < 12 GeV/c) and rapidity. The comparison with ψ(2S) results in proton-lead collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV and theoretical predictions is also shown.
