Production of prompt D 0 mesons is studied in proton-lead and lead-proton collisions recorded at the LHCb detector at the LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.58±0.02 nb −1 recorded at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of √ s NN = 5 TeV. Measurements of the differential cross-section, the forward-backward production ratio and the nuclear modification factor are reported using D 0 candidates with transverse momenta less than 10 GeV/c and rapidities in the ranges 1.5 < y * < 4.0 and −5.0 < y * < −2.5 in the nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass system.

Article funded by SCOAP 3 .https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP10(2017)090 JHEP10(2017)090 Conclusion 17The LHCb collaboration 23 IntroductionCharm hadrons produced in hadronic and nuclear collisions are excellent probes to study nuclear matter in extreme conditions. The differential cross-sections of c-quark production in pp or pp collisions have been calculated based on perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and collinear or k T factorisation [1][2][3][4][5][6]. These phenomenological models [7] are also able to predict the differential cross-section of c-quark production including most of the commonly assumed "cold nuclear matter" (CNM) effects in nuclear collisions, where CNM effects related to the parton flux differences and other effects come into play. Since heavy quarks are produced in hard scattering (with momentum transfer squared Q 2 2m c ) typically at a short time scale, they are ideal to examine hot nuclear matter, the so-called "quark-gluon plasma" (QGP), by studying how they traverse this medium and interact with it right after their formation.These studies require a thorough understanding of the CNM effects, which can be investigated in systems where the formation of QGP is not expected. In addition, a precise quantification of CNM effects would significantly improve the understanding of charmonium and open-charm production by confirming or discarding the possibility that the suppression pattern in the production of quarkonium states, like J/ψ , at the SPS, RHIC and LHC is due to QGP formation [7].The study of CNM effects is best performed in collisions of protons with heavy nuclei like lead, where the most relevant CNM effects, such as nuclear modification of the parton densities [8,9] and in-medium energy loss [10] in initial-and final-state radiation [11,12], -1 - JHEP10(2017)090are more evident. Phenomenologically, collinear parton distributions are often used to describe the nuclear modification of the parton flux in the nucleus. The modification with respect to the free nucleon depends on the parton fractional longitudinal momentum x, Q 2 and the atomic mass number of the nucleus A [13,14]. In the low-x region, down to x ≈ 10 −5 −10 −6 , which is accessible at LHC energies at forward rapidity, a possible onset of gl...

“…The top panels of figure 6 show the respective R pPb measurements in comparison with model predictions, including FONLL [2] with EPS09 nPDF parameterisation [23], the same models as shown for D mesons based on either coherent or incoherent scattering [24,26], and a blast wave calculation to understand the effect of the possible hydrodynamical expansion of the system on charm and beauty quarks (as done in [32]), all of which describe the data within the experimental uncertainties. Muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays have also been measured in p-Pb collisions [33] where the beam direction is switched, allowing for measurements at both forward (p-beam travelling towards the muon spectrometer) and backward (Pb-beam travelling towards the muon spectrometer) rapidities. The R pPb has been measured for both configurations, and the forward-backward ratio, defined as the ratio of the cross section of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at forward rapidity to that at backward rapidity in a rapidity interval symmetric with respect to y cms = 0, is measured, as shown in the bottom panel of figure 6.…”
