Description
ALICE, the dedicated heavy-ion detector at the LHC, observed J/psi suppression in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=2.76 TeV. The interpretation of that observation can be helped by performing a similar measurement in p-Pb collisions, where only cold nuclear matter effects are relevant. In this talk we will show results on inclusive J/psi production in p-Pb collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=5.02 TeV in the rapidity domains 2.03 < y_cms < 3.53 and -4.46 < y_cms < -2.96. The J/psi measurement is performed in the Muon Spectrometer through the mu+mu- decay mode, down to zero transverse momentum. Cross-sections and nuclear modification factors, integrated as well as differentially in y and pT, will be presented and will be compared to available theory calculations.
