Abstract

Abstract: The transverse momentum (p_T) dependence of the nuclear modification factor R_AA and the centrality dependence of the average transverse momentum 〈p_T〉 for inclusive J/ψ have been measured with ALICE for Pb-Pb collisions at √s_NN TeV in the e+e⁻ decay channel at mid-rapidity (|y| < 0.8). The 〈p_T〉 is significantly smaller than the one observed for pp collisions at the same centre-of-mass energy. Consistently, an increase of R_AA is observed towards low p_T. These observations might be indicative of a sizable contribution of charm quark coalescence to the J/ψ production. Additionally, the fraction of non-prompt J/ψ from beauty hadron decays, f_B, has been determined in the region 1.5 < p_T< 10 GeV/c in three centrality intervals. No significant centrality dependence of f_B is observed. Finally, the R_AA of non-prompt J/ψ is discussed and compared with model predictions. The nuclear modification in the region 4.5 < p_T< 10 GeV/c is found to be stronger than predicted by most models.
