Description
"Charmonia are considered as a key observable
for deconfinement in nucleus-nucleus (A-A) collisions at LHC energies. Measurements in proton-nucleus (p-A) collisions
provide crucial information to study nuclear effects which are also present in the absence of the Quark-Gluon Plasma.
Charmonium production has been measured by ALICE in proton-proton, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions down to p_T = 0 both via their dimuon decay in the forward muon spectrometer and with dielectrons in the central barrel.
In this talk, results on the inclusive J/psi and psi(2S) production in p-Pb collisions at sqrt{s_{NN}}~= 5.02 TeV at forward (p going direction), backward (Pb going direction) rapidity and midrapidity as a function of transverse momentum will be presented. At forward and backward rapidities, measurements as function of event activity will be shown. Finally, comparisons with theoretical models will be carried out and further prospects will be discussed."
