$\psi (2S)$ enhancement in p–Pb collision as an indication of quark–gluon plasma formation at the Large Hadron Collider

Abstract: Proton–nucleus collisions serve as an important baseline for the understanding and interpretation of the nucleus–nucleus collisions. These collisions have been employed to characterize the cold nuclear matter effects at SPS and Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider energies for the past several years, as it was thought that quark–gluon plasma (QGP) is not formed in such collisions. However, at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), there seems a possibility that QGP is formed during proton–lead (p–Pb) collisions. In this … Show more

“…It may be possible since the number of participants (N part ) in p-Pb collision at centrality class 0-5% is approximately equal to the N part in Pb-Pb collision at centrality class 80-100%. At this centrality class, there is a finite chance of QGP formation even in p-Pb collisions at the available LHC energies [47]. If QGP exists in such a small system, its life-time would obviously be comparatively less (∼ 2 − 3 fm) than the QGP life-time (∼ 6 − 9 fm) formed in Pb-Pb collisions.…”
