Transverse-momentum distribution and nuclear modification factor for neutral pions in the forward-rapidity region in proton-lead collisions atsNN=5.02TeV

Abstract: The transverse momentum (p T ) distribution for inclusive neutral pions in the very forward rapidity region has been measured, with the Large Hadron Collider forward detector (LHCf), in proton-lead collisions at nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energies of √ s NN = 5.02 TeV at the LHC. The p T spectra obtained in the rapidity range −11.0 < y lab < −8.9 and 0 < p T < 0.6 GeV (in the detector reference frame) show a strong suppression of the production of neutral pions after taking into account ultraperipheral col… Show more

“…It is reported from LHCf [61] that nuclear modification factor of forward neutral pion in proton-lead collisions at √ s N N = 5.02 TeV exhibits strong suppression, and it increases with transverse momentum. However, hadronic interaction model predictions show almost flat p T dependence.…”

“…One of the most significant results achieved from Run I data is the measurement of inclusive production cross section of forward neutral pions [6,7,8], indirectly reconstructed from the detection of the two γs originated in the decay. There are at least two reasons for this importance.…”

“…This is possible thanks to two imaging and sampling calorimeter detectors [2] that are installed in regions called TArget Neutral absorber (TAN), located at a distance of 141.05 m from Interaction Point 1 (IP1). In LHC Run I and II, LHCf acquired data relative to high energy p-p and p-Pb collisions, publishing several results on forward photon [3,4], π 0 [5][6][7] and neutron [8][9][10] production. Due to the following reshaping of the TAN region, the detectors cannot operate in HL-LHC, but in Run III the LHCf experiment will reach its main scientific goals.…”
