Description
Charmonia are bound states formed by a charm quark and its antiquark (𝑐𝑐¯). The creation of the heavy charm–anticharm pair results from hard partonic scattering that can be described within perturbative QCD, whereas the subsequent hadronization into a bound state is governed by non-perturbative QCD dynamics. Therefore, the study of charmonium production provides a key probe of both perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of QCD, helping to validate and constrain their theoretical descriptions. In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, charmonium production serves as an important probe of the hot and dense medium known as the quark–gluon plasma (QGP), providing valuable insights into its properties through the interaction with the medium. Thus, this measurement not only provides a stringent test of theoretical predictions at the new LHC energy but also establishes an essential baseline for future studies in larger collision systems such as OO, Ne–Ne, and Pb–Pb.
In this work, we present the inclusive J/𝜓 production at midrapidity (|𝑦|<0.9) via the dielectron decay channel in pp collisions at 𝑠√=5.36TeV, using Run 3 data collected with the ALICE detector.
