Measurement of inclusive $J/ψ$ production in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}}$ = 54.4 GeV at STAR

This article presents measurements of inclusive J/ψ production at midrapidity (|y| < 1.0) in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}}$ = 54.4 GeV with the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. A suppression of the J/ψ yield, quantified using the nuclear modification factors (R AA , R CP ), is observed with respect to the scaled production p + p in collisions. The dependence of R AA on collision centrality and J/ψ transverse momentum is measured with improved precision compared to previous measurements at 39 and 62.4 GeV, while the centrality dependence of R CP is measured and compared to the same results at 39, 62.4, and 200 GeV. In central collisions, no significant collision energy dependence of R AA is found within uncertainties for collision energies between 17.3 and 200 GeV. Two transport model calculations that include dissociation and regeneration contributions are consistent with the experimental results within uncertainties. Although no significant collision energy dependence of the J/ψ suppression in high energy heavy-ion collisions up to $\sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}}$ = 200 GeV is observed within uncertainties, the newly measured results at 54.4 GeV Au+Au collisions provide additional constraints on theoretical calculations of the hot medium evolution and cold nuclear matter effects.

Observation of structure in the J/ψ-pair mass spectrum

Using proton-proton collision data at centre-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s}$ = 7, 8 and 13 TeV recorded by the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb -1 , the invariant mass spectrum of J/ψ pairs is studied. A narrow structure around 6.9 GeV/c 2 matching the lineshape of a resonance and a broad structure just above twice the J/ψ mass are observed. The deviation of the data from nonresonant J/ψ-pair production is above five standard deviations in the mass region between 6.2 and 7.4 GeV/c 2 , covering predicted masses of states composed of four charm quarks. The mass and natural width of the narrow X(6900) structure are measured assuming a Breit-Wigner lineshape.

Search for the doubly heavy baryons $ {{{{\varOmega}_{bc}^{0}}}} $ and $ {{{{\varXi}_{bc}^{0}}}} $ decaying to $ {{{{\varLambda}^+_c}}} {{{{\pi}^-}}} $ and $ {{{{\varXi}^+_c}}} {{{{\pi}^-}}} $ *

The first search for the doubly heavy $ {{{{\varOmega}_{bc}^{0}}}} $ baryon and a search for the $ {{{{\varXi}_{bc}^{0}}}} $ baryon are performed using $ pp $ collision data collected via the $ {\rm{LHCb}} $ experiment from 2016 to 2018 at a centre-of-mass energy of $ 13 \;{\rm{TeV}} $, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.2 $ \;{\rm{f}}{{\rm{b}}^{ - 1}} $. The baryons are reconstructed via their decays to $ {{{{\varLambda}^+_c}}} {{{{\pi}^-}}} $ and $ {{{{\varXi}^+_c}}} {{{{\pi}^-}}} $. No significant excess is found for invariant masses between 6700 and 7300 $ \;{\rm{MeV}}/{c^2} $, in a rapidity range from 2.0 to 4.5 and a transverse momentum range from 2 to 20 $ \;{\rm{MeV}}/{c} $. Upper limits are set on the ratio of the $ {{{{\varOmega}_{bc}^{0}}}} $ and $ {{{{\varXi}_{bc}^{0}}}} $ production cross-section times the branching fraction to $ {{{{\varLambda}^+_c}}}{{{{\pi}^-}}} $ ( $ {{{{\varXi}^+_c}}}{{{{\pi}^-}}} $) relative to that of the $ {{{{\varLambda}^0_b}}} $ ( $ {{{{\varXi}_{b}^{0}}}} $) baryon, for different lifetime hypotheses, at 95% confidence level. The upper limits range from $ 0.5\times10^{-4} $ to $ 2.5\times10^{-4} $ for the $ {{{{{{{{\varOmega}_{bc}^{0}}}}{{\rightarrow }}{{{{\varLambda}^+_c}}}{{{{\pi}^-}}}}}}} $ ( $ {{{{{{{{\varXi}_{bc}^{0}}}}{{\rightarrow }}{{{{\varLambda}^+_c}}}{{{{\pi}^-}}}}}}} $) decay, and from $ 1.4\times10^{-3} $ to $ 6.9\times10^{-3} $ for the $ {{{{{{{{\varOmega}_{bc}^{0}}}}{{\rightarrow }}{{{{\varXi}^+_c}}}{{{{\pi}^-}}}}}}} $ ( $ {{{{{{{{\varXi}_{bc}^{0}}}}{{\rightarrow }}{{{{\varXi}^+_c}}}{{{{\pi}^-}}}}}}} $) decay, depending on the considered mass and lifetime of the $ {{{{\varOmega}_{bc}^{0}}}} $ ( $ {{{{\varXi}_{bc}^{0}}}} $) baryon.
