Abstract:
The nuclear modification factors of and mesons are measured in collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of . The analysis is based on and data samples collected by CMS at the LHC in 2015, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 464 and 28 , respectively. The measurements are performed in the dimuon rapidity range of as a function of centrality, rapidity, and transverse momentum ( ) from in the most forward region and up to 50 . Both prompt and nonprompt (coming from b hadron decays) mesons are observed to be increasingly suppressed with centrality, with a magnitude similar to the one observed at for the two meson components. No dependence on rapidity is observed for either prompt or nonprompt mesons. An indication of a lower prompt meson suppression at is seen with respect to that observed at intermediate . The prompt meson yield is found to be more suppressed than that of the prompt mesons in the entire range.
