dc.description.abstract | Forward rapidity J=ψ meson production in proton-nucleus collisions can be an important constraint of
descriptions of the small-x nuclear wave function. In an earlier work we studied this process using a dipole
cross section satisfying the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation, fit to HERA inclusive data and consistently
extrapolated to the nuclear case using a standard Woods-Saxon distribution. In this paper we present further
calculations of these cross sections, studying the mean transverse momentum of the meson and the
dependence on collision centrality. We also extend the calculation to backward rapidities using nuclear
parton distribution functions. We show that the parametrization is overall rather consistent with the
available experimental data. However, there is a tendency towards a too strong centrality dependence. This
can be traced back to the rather small transverse area occupied by small-x gluons in the nucleon that is seen
in the HERA data, compared to the total inelastic nucleon-nucleon cross section. | |
