Investigating the interplay between initial hard processes and final-state effects measuring prompt and non-prompt J/ψ

Charmonium production in high-energy collisions can be split into a prompt and a non-prompt component. Both components can be distinguished experimentally by studying displaced topology, and represent valuable tools to investigate the properties of the strongly interacting medium produced in ultrare...

description Charmonium production in high-energy collisions can be split into a prompt and a non-prompt component. Both components can be distinguished experimentally by studying displaced topology, and represent valuable tools to investigate the properties of the strongly interacting medium produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. In particular, the study of non-prompt charmonium production can give access to the beauty-hadron production cross section and can be used to investigate the in-medium energy loss of beauty quarks. In these proceedings, the recent measurement of prompt and non-prompt J/ψ carried out by the ALICE Collaboration in Pb–Pb collisions at midrapidity (|y| < 0.8) at √sNN = 5.02 TeV, will be presented. Moreover, thanks to the installation of the new muon forward tracker (MFT), the prompt/non-prompt charmonium separation will be possible in LHC Run 3 also at forward rapidity (2.5 < y < 4).
