Measurements of the azimuthal anisotropy of prompt and nonprompt charmonia in PbPb collisions at $$ \sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} $$= 5.02 TeV. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023(10), 115. https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP10(2023)115https://hdl.handle.net/1911/117534The second-order (v2) and third-order (v3) Fourier coefficients describing the azimuthal anisotropy of prompt and nonprompt (from b-hadron decays) J/ψ, as well as prompt ψ(2S) mesons are measured in lead-lead collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of $$ \sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} $$= 5.02 TeV. The analysis uses a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.61 nb−1 recorded with the CMS detector. The J/ψ and ψ(2S) mesons are reconstructed using their dimuon decay channel. The v2 and v3 coefficients are extracted using the scalar product method and studied as functions of meson transverse momentum and collision centrality. The measured v2 values for prompt J/ψ mesons are found to be larger than those for nonprompt J/ψ mesons. The prompt J/ψ v2 values at high pT are found to be underpredicted by a model incorporating only parton energy loss effects in a quark-gluon plasma medium. Prompt and nonprompt J/ψ meson v3 and prompt ψ(2S) v2 and v3 values are also reported for the first time, providing new information about heavy quark interactions in the hot and dense medium created in heavy ion collisions.engExcept where otherwise noted, this work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license.
