Description

Charmonium production in hadronic collisions is an important experimen-
tal observable that sheds light on the heavy quark interaction with the nuclear medium. While the bound quarkonium states undergo dissociation and recombination in PbPb collisions, in pPb collisions they can experience a combination of initial and final state effects such as shadowing and comover breakup. A full description of charmonia production from small to intermediate system is hence crucial to disentangle these from medium effects. In this contribution, recent LHCb measurements of ψ(2s)/J/ψ production in pp and in pPb as a function of multiplicity will be shown and discussed. Also, the first LHC measurement of χc production and nuclear modification will be included
