920 GeV固定靶质子-核碰撞产生$J/ψ$的运动学分布和核效应

Kinematic distributions and nuclear effects of $J/ψ$ production in 920 GeV fixed-target proton-nucleus collisions

B Collaboration

摘要:

本文测量了$p-$ C、$p-$ Ti和$p-$ W碰撞中产生的$J/ψ$介子在费曼- $x$区$-0.34 < x_{F} < 0.14$和$\sqrt{s}=41.6 \mathrm{GeV}$上的运动学分布,以及横动量达到$p_T = 5.4 \mathrm{GeV}/c$的运动学分布.还给出了核抑制参数$α$的$x_F$和$p_T$依赖关系。结果是基于$2.4 \cdot 10^{5}$ $J/ψ$介子在$e^+ e^-$和$μ^{+}μ^{-}$衰变通道中的衰变。这些数据是由DESY实验室HERA质子环上的HERA-B实验收集的。测量首次探索了$x_{F}$的负性区域。测量的$x_{F}$区域中的$α$的平均值为$0.981 \pm 0.015$。数据表明,先前在高$x_F$下观察到的对$J/ψ$产生的强核抑制在负$x_F$下转变为增强。

英文摘要:

Measurements of the kinematic distributions of $J/ψ$ mesons produced in $p-$C, $p-$Ti and $p-$W collisions at $\sqrt{s}=41.6 \mathrm{GeV}$ in the Feynman-$x$ region $-0.34 < x_{F} < 0.14$ and for transverse momentum up to $p_T = 5.4 \mathrm{GeV}/c$ are presented. The $x_F$ and $p_T$ dependencies of the nuclear suppression parameter, $α$, are also given. The results are based on $2.4 \cdot 10^{5}$ $J/ψ$ mesons in both the $e^+ e^-$ and $μ^{+}μ^{-}$ decay channels. The data have been collected by the HERA-B experiment at the HERA proton ring of the DESY laboratory. The measurement explores the negative region of $x_{F}$ for the first time. The average value of $α$ in the measured $x_{F}$ region is $0.981 \pm 0.015$. The data suggest that the strong nuclear suppression of $J/ψ$ production previously observed at high $x_F$ turns into an enhancement at negative $x_F$.
