J/$\psi$ production at central rapidity in p–Pb collisions at $\sqrt{{s}_{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV with ALICE

The ALICE detector is capable of reconstructing J/psi at central rapidity through the e^+e^- decay channel, down to zero transverse momentum, and has measured its production cross section as well as the fraction of non-prompt J/psi, produced by the decay of beauty-flavoured hadrons. The latter quant...

Sumario:The ALICE detector is capable of reconstructing J/psi at central rapidity through the e^+e^- decay channel, down to zero transverse momentum, and has measured its production cross section as well as the fraction of non-prompt J/psi, produced by the decay of beauty-flavoured hadrons. The latter quantity was evaluated in both pp and Pb-Pb systems down to p_T = 1:3 GeV/c. The results obtained by ALICE from the measurements of the inclusive J/psi yield in p-Pb collisions at sqrts_NN = 5.02 TeV, as well as the statistical techniques and the status of the analysis concerning the non-prompt J/psi measurement will be presented in this paper.
