Abstract

The modification of the production of J / ψ , ψ ( 2 S ) , and Υ ( n S ) ( n = 1 , 2 , 3 ) in <i>p</i>+Pb collisions with respect to their production in <i>pp</i> collisions has been studied. The <i>p</i>+Pb and <i>pp</i> datasets used in this paper correspond to integrated luminosities of 28 nb - 1 and 25 pb - 1 respectively, collected in 2013 and 2015 by the ATLAS detector at the LHC, both at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV. The quarkonium states are reconstructed in the dimuon decay channel. The yields of J / ψ and ψ ( 2 S ) are separated into prompt and non-prompt sources. The measured quarkonium differential cross sections are presented as a function of rapidity and transverse momentum, as is the nuclear modification factor, R p Pb for J / ψ and Υ ( n S ) . No significant modification of the J / ψ production is observed while Υ ( n S ) production is found to be suppressed at low transverse momentum in <i>p</i>+Pb collisions relative to <i>pp</i> collisions. The production of excited charmonium and bottomonium states is found to be suppressed relative to that of the ground states in central <i>p</i>+Pb collisions.
