Gluon shadowing effects on J/psi and Upsilon production in p+Pb collisions at sqrt s_NN = 115 GeV and Pb+p collisions at sqrt s_NN = 72 GeV at AFTER@LHC

TL;DR

This paper investigates how gluon shadowing influences the production rates of J/psi and Upsilon(1S) particles in proton-lead and lead-proton collisions at specific energies, providing predictions for experimental measurements at AFTER@LHC.

Contribution

It offers a detailed analysis of gluon shadowing effects on quarkonium production at AFTER@LHC, including rate predictions across transverse momentum and rapidity.

Findings

Gluon shadowing significantly affects J/psi and Upsilon production rates.

Predicted p_T and rapidity distributions for p+Pb and Pb+p collisions.

Results aid in interpreting future experimental data at AFTER@LHC.

Abstract

We explore the effects of shadowing on inclusive J/psi and Upsilon(1S) production at AFTER@LHC. We also present the rates as a function of p_T and rapidity for p+Pb and Pb+p collisions in the proposed AFTER@LHC rapidity acceptance.
