Measurement of prompt Ds+-meson production and azimuthal anisotropy in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV

Original language description

The production yield and angular anisotropy of prompt D-s(+) mesons were measured as a function of transverse momentum (p(T)) in Pb-Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV collected with the ALICE detector at the LHC. D-s(+) mesons and their charge conjugates were reconstructed at midrapidity (vertical bar y vertical bar < 0.5) from their hadronic decay channel D-s(+) -> phi pi(+), with phi -> K-K+, in the p(T) intervals 2 < p(T) < 50 GeV/c and 2 < p(T) < 36 GeV/c for the 0-10% and 30-50% centrality intervals. For p(T) > 10 GeV/c, the measured D-s(+)-meson nuclear modification factor R-AA is consistent with the one of non-strange D mesons within uncertainties, while at lower p(T) a hint for a D-s(+)-meson R-AA larger than that of non-strange D mesons is seen. The enhanced production of D-s(+) relative to non-strange D mesons is also studied by comparing the p(T)-dependent D-s(+)/D-0 production yield ratios in Pb-Pb and in pp collisions. The ratio measured in Pb-Pb collisions is found to be on average higher than that in pp collisions in the interval 2 < p(T) < 8 GeV/c with a significance of 2.3 sigma and 2.4 sigma for the 0-10% and 30-50% centrality intervals. The azimuthal anisotropy coefficient v(2) of prompt D-s(+) mesons was measured in Pb-Pb collisions in the 30-50% centrality interval and is found to be compatible with that of non-strange D mesons. The main features of the measured R-AA, D-s(+)/D-0 ratio, and v(2) as a function of p(T) are described by theoretical calculations of charm-quark transport in a hydrodynamically expanding quark-gluon plasma including hadronisation via charm-quark recombination with light quarks from the medium. The p(T)-integrated production yield of D-s(+) mesons is compatible with the prediction of the statistical hadronisation model.
