Abstract

The first study of ϕ-meson production in p–Pb collisions at forward and backward rapidity, at a nucleon–nucleon centre-of-mass energy s_NN=5.02 TeV, has been performed with the ALICE apparatus at the LHC. The ϕ-mesons have been identified in the dimuon decay channel in the transverse momentum (p_T) range 1<p_T<7 GeV/c, both in the p-going (2.03<y<3.53) and the Pb-going (−4.46<y<−2.96) directions — where y stands for the rapidity in the nucleon–nucleon centre-of-mass — the integrated luminosity amounting to 5.01±0.19 nb⁻¹ and 5.81±0.20 nb⁻¹, respectively, for the two data samples. Differential cross sections as a function of transverse momentum and rapidity are presented. The forward–backward ratio for ϕ-meson production is measured for 2.96<|y|<3.53, resulting in a ratio ∼0.5 with no significant p_T dependence within the uncertainties. The p_T dependence of the ϕ nuclear modification factor R_pPb exhibits an enhancement up to a factor 1.6 at p_T=3–4 GeV/c in the Pb-going direction. The p_T dependence of the ϕ-meson cross section in pp collisions at s=2.76 TeV, which is used to determine a reference for the p–Pb results, is also presented here for 1<p_T<5 GeV/c and 2.5<y<4, for a 78±3 nb⁻¹ integrated luminosity sample.
