$\Psi(2S)$ and $\Upsilon(3S)$ Suppression in p-Pb 8 TeV Collisions and Mixed Heavy Quark Hybrid Mesons

TL;DR

This paper investigates the suppression patterns of excited heavy quarkonium states, specifically $ ext{Ψ}(2S)$ and $ ext{Υ}(3S)$, in proton-lead collisions at 8 TeV, extending previous work on lower energy collisions.

Contribution

It provides new estimates of suppression ratios for $ ext{Ψ}(2S)$ to $J/ ext{Ψ}(1S)$ and $ ext{Υ}(3S)$ to $ ext{Υ}(1S)$ in p-Pb collisions at 8 TeV, based on an extended theoretical framework.

Findings

Predicted suppression ratios for $ ext{Ψ}(2S)$ and $ ext{Υ}(3S)$ states.

Extended previous suppression models to 8 TeV collisions.

Supports the mixed heavy quark hybrid meson hypothesis.

Abstract

This brief report is an extension of a previus publication on $\Psi(2S)$ to $J/\Psi(1S)$ suppression in p-Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV to estimate $\Psi(2S)$ to $J/\Psi(1S)$ and $\Upsilon(3S)$ to $\Upsilon(1S)$ suppression via p-Pb collisions at 8 TeV as proposed by the LHCb.
