Description

The productions of prompt $D^0$ mesons in proton-lead collisions in the forward and backward configurations were studied. The data are collected with the LHCb detector with at a centre-of-mass energy of 5TeV. The integrated cross-section is measured to be 237±1±15mb (259±3±19mb) for the forward (backward) rapidity range 1.5 < y< 4 (5 < y < 2.5), in the pT range 0 < pT < 8 GeV/c. Nuclear modification factors and forward-backward ratios are determined, suggesting suppression in the forward direction.
