Description
The inclusive J/ differential production cross-sections and nuclear modification factor as a function of in Pb-Pb collisions at = 2.76 TeV have been calculated at forward rapidity (2.5 4) and compared with the results reported by the ALICE Collaborations [arXiv:1506.08804v1]. The calculations have been carried out by estimating the pp cross-sections at = 2.76 TeV within the framework of NRQCD [J. Phys. G: Nucl. Part. Phys. 42 065101 (2015)]. The cross-sections have been scaled by the Glauber model for Pb-Pb collisions and convoluted with the survival probability fraction due to color screening [Phys. Rev. D 37, 1851 (1988)]. The feed-down contributions from (2S), and mesons to J/ have been included to compare the inclusive results from ALICE. The comparison with experimental values shows a good agreement beyond = 4 GeV for the three centrality bins namely, 0% 20%, 20% 40% and 40% 90%. These results indicate that the cold nuclear matter and recombination effects on J/ production at forward rapidities in Pb-Pb collisions at = 2.76 TeV is negligible for 4 GeV. Thus, in the high domain ( 4 GeV), the observed suppression in the J/ yield by ALICE Collaboration can solely be accounted by color screening. Results will also be shown for Pb-Pb collisions at higher energies.
