Production of prompt D0 mesons is studied in proton-lead and lead-proton collisions recorded at the LHCb detector at the LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.58 ± 0.02 nb^−1 recorded at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of √s_NN = 5 TeV. Measurements of the differential cross-section, the forward-backward production ratio and the nuclear modification factor are reported using D0 candidates with transverse momenta less than 10 GeV/c and rapidities in the ranges 1.5 < y∗ < 4.0 and −5.0 < y∗ < −2.5 in the nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass system.

Abstract

Production of prompt D0 mesons is studied in proton-lead and lead-proton collisions recorded at the LHCb detector at the LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.58 ± 0.02 nb^−1 recorded at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of √s_NN = 5 TeV. Measurements of the differential cross-section, the forward-backward production ratio and the nuclear modification factor are reported using D0 candidates with transverse momenta less than 10 GeV/c and rapidities in the ranges 1.5 < y∗ < 4.0 and −5.0 < y∗ < −2.5 in the nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass system.
