Nuclear modification factor of D${}^0$ mesons in PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=$ 5.02 TeV

Abstract

The transverse momentum ($p_{\mathrm{t}}$) spectrum of prompt D${}^0$ mesons and their antiparticles has been measured via the hadronic decay channels D${}^0\to {\mathrm{K}}^{-}{\pi }^{+}$ and ${\overline{\mathrm{D}}}^0\to {\mathrm{K}}^{+}{\pi }^{-}$ in pp and PbPb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair with the CMS detector at the LHC. The measurement is performed in the D${}^0$ meson $p_{\mathrm{t}}$ range of 2-100 GeV and in the rapidity range of $|y|<$1. The pp (PbPb) dataset used for this analysis corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 27.4 pb${}^{-1}$ (530 $\mu$b${}^{-1}$). The measured D${}^0$ meson $p_{\mathrm{t}}$ spectrum in pp collisions is well described by perturbative QCD calculations. The nuclear modification factor, comparing D${}^0$ meson yields in PbPb and pp collisions, was extracted for both minimum-bias and the 10% most central PbPb interactions. For central events, the D${}^0$ meson yield in the PbPb collisions is suppressed by a factor of 5-6 compared to the pp reference in the $p_{\mathrm{t}}$ range of 6-10 GeV. For D${}^0$ mesons in the high-$p_{\mathrm{t}}$ range of 60-100 GeV, a significantly smaller suppression is observed. The results are also compared to theoretical calculations.
