在$\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} =$ 5.02 TeV的PbPb和pp碰撞中B $_\mathrm{c}^+$介子的观测及其核修正因子的测量

Observation of the B$_\mathrm{c}^+$ meson in PbPb and pp collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} =$ 5.02 TeV and measurement of its nuclear modification factor

CMS Collaboration

摘要:

在重离子碰撞中首次观察到B $_\mathrm{c}^+$介子。利用CMS探测器获得的数据研究了在质量中心能量为$\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} =$ 5.02 TeV的铅-铅(PbPb)和质子-质子(pp)碰撞中,通过B $_\mathrm{c}^+$ $\to$(J/ $ψ$ $\to$ $μ^+μ^-$)$μ^+ν_μ$衰变产生B $_\mathrm{c}^+$介子的过程. B $_\mathrm{c}^+$核修改因子,来自PbPb-pp比的生产截面,测量在两个箱子的三μ子横向动量和PbPb碰撞中心。B $_\mathrm{c}^+$介子被证明比夸克偶素和大多数开放的重味介子受到更少的抑制,这表明在重离子碰撞中产生的热而致密的核物质的影响有助于其产生。这一测量为研究夸克-胶子等离子体中重味介子的产生过程中抑制和增强机制的相互作用提供了一个有希望的新途径。

英文摘要:

The B$_\mathrm{c}^+$ meson is observed for the first time in heavy ion collisions. Data from the CMS detector are used to study the production of the B$_\mathrm{c}^+$ meson in lead-lead (PbPb) and proton-proton (pp) collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} =$ 5.02 TeV, via the B$_\mathrm{c}^+$ $\to$ (J/$ψ$ $\to$ $μ^+μ^-$)$μ^+ν_μ$ decay. The B$_\mathrm{c}^+$ nuclear modification factor, derived from the PbPb-to-pp ratio of production cross sections, is measured in two bins of the trimuon transverse momentum and of the PbPb collision centrality. The B$_\mathrm{c}^+$ meson is shown to be less suppressed than quarkonia and most of the open heavy-flavor mesons, suggesting that effects of the hot and dense nuclear matter created in heavy ion collisions contribute to its production. This measurement sets forth a promising new probe of the interplay of suppression and enhancement mechanisms in the production of heavy-flavor mesons in the quark-gluon plasma.
