Abstract

<jats:title>A<jats:sc>bstract</jats:sc> </jats:title><jats:p>The production of J/<jats:italic>ψ</jats:italic> is measured as a function of charged-particle multiplicity at forward rapidity in proton-proton (pp) collisions at center-of-mass energies <jats:inline-formula><jats:alternatives><jats:tex-math>$$ \sqrt{s} $$</jats:tex-math><mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msqrt> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> </mml:msqrt> </mml:math></jats:alternatives></jats:inline-formula> = 5.02 and 13 TeV. The J/<jats:italic>ψ</jats:italic> mesons are reconstructed via their decay into dimuons in the rapidity interval (2.5 <jats:italic>&lt; y &lt;</jats:italic> 4.0), whereas the charged-particle multiplicity density (d<jats:italic>N</jats:italic><jats:sub>ch</jats:sub><jats:italic>/</jats:italic>d<jats:italic>η</jats:italic>) is measured at midrapidity (<jats:italic>|η| &lt;</jats:italic> 1). The production rate as a function of multiplicity is reported as the ratio of the yield in a given multiplicity interval to the multiplicity-integrated one. This observable shows a linear increase with charged-particle multiplicity normalized to the corresponding average value for inelastic events (d<jats:italic>N</jats:italic><jats:sub>ch</jats:sub>/d<jats:italic>η</jats:italic>/〈d<jats:italic>N</jats:italic><jats:sub>ch</jats:sub>/d<jats:italic>η</jats:italic>〉), at both the colliding energies. Measurements are compared with available ALICE results at midrapidity and theoretical model calculations. First measurement of the mean transverse momentum (〈<jats:italic>p</jats:italic><jats:sub>T</jats:sub>〉) of J/<jats:italic>ψ</jats:italic> in pp collisions exhibits an increasing trend as a function of d<jats:italic>N</jats:italic><jats:sub>ch</jats:sub>/d<jats:italic>η</jats:italic>/〈d<jats:italic>N</jats:italic><jats:sub>ch</jats:sub>/d<jats:italic>η</jats:italic>〉 showing a saturation towards high charged-particle multiplicities.</jats:p>
