Heavy quark state production in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt{s_{pp}}=5.02 TeV

Abstract

We estimate differential rapidity cross sections for J/Ψ, Ψ(2S), Y(1S), Y(2S), and Y(3S) production via Pb-Pb collisions at proton-proton energy ≡ sqrt{s_{pp}} = 5.02 TeV. For the Ψ(2S) and Y(3S) states we use the mixed heavy quark hyrid theory and compare the cross section to the standard model. This is an extension of previous work on heavy quark state production via Cu-Cu and Au-Au collisions at sqrt{s_{pp}} = 200 GeV.
