Shadowing and Absorption Effects on J/psi Production in dA Collisions
Abstract
We study medium modifications of J/psi production in cold nuclear media in deuterium-nucleus collisions. We discuss several parameterizations of the modifications of the parton densities in the nucleus, known as shadowing, an initial-state effect. We also include absorption of the produced J/psi by nucleons, a final-state effect. Both spatially homogeneous and inhomogeneous shadowing and absorption are considered. We use the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions as a centrality measure. Results are presented for d+Au collisions at sqrtSNN = 200 GeV and for d+Pb collisions at sqrtSNN = 6.2 TeV. To contrast the centrality dependence in pA and dA collisions, we also present pPb results at sqrtSNN = 8.8 TeV.
