The ALICE Collaboration has measured the energy dependence of exclusive photoproduction of J/ψ vec- tor mesons off proton targets in ultra–peripheral p–Pb colli- sions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair √sNN = 5.02 TeV. The e+ e− and μ+ μ− decay channels are used to measure the cross section as a function of the rapidity of the J/ψ in the range −2.5 < y < 2.7, correspond- ing to an energy in the γp centre-of-mass in the interval 40 < Wγ p < 550 GeV. The measurements, which are consis- tent with a power law dependence of the exclusive J/ψ pho- toproduction cross section, are compared to previous results from HERA and the LHC and to several theoretical models.

Abstract
The ALICE Collaboration has measured the energy dependence of exclusive photoproduction of J/ψ vec- tor mesons off proton targets in ultra–peripheral p–Pb colli- sions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair √sNN = 5.02 TeV. The e+ e− and μ+ μ− decay channels are used to measure the cross section as a function of the rapidity of the J/ψ in the range −2.5 < y < 2.7, correspond- ing to an energy in the γp centre-of-mass in the interval 40 < Wγ p < 550 GeV. The measurements, which are consis- tent with a power law dependence of the exclusive J/ψ pho- toproduction cross section, are compared to previous results from HERA and the LHC and to several theoretical models. They are found to be compatible with previous measure- ments.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
