ψ^\prime Production and B Decay in Heavy Ion Collisions at LHC

arXiv:1306.5032 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2013.09.036

Abstract

In comparison with J/ψ, the excited charmonium state ψ^\prime is loosely bounded and its yield is dominantly from the B-hadron decay. Based on the transport approach, we study the double ratio of N(ψ^\prime)/N(J/ψ) from A+A collisions to that from p+p collisions at LHC energy. We found that the primordial production in the initial stage and the regeneration in the hot medium are not significant for ψ^\prime production in heavy ion collisions at LHC and the double ratio in semi-central and central collisions is controlled by the B decay.
