Charmonium production at mid-rapidity in Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions with ALICE

Abstract

We present an overview of the ALICE measurements on the production of $J/\psi$ in Pb-Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=2.76\mathrm{TeV}$ and p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=5.02\mathrm{TeV}$ at mid-rapidity ($|y_{\mathrm{lab}}|<0.8$) down to zero transverse momentum. The cold nuclear matter effects estimated from the p-Pb measurements and their impact on the interpretation of Pb-Pb results are discussed, based on comparison of data to model calculations.
