Observation of Strong Nuclear Suppression in Exclusive J/ψ Photoproduction in Au plus Au Ultraperipheral Collisions at RHIC
Original language description
We report a measurement of exclusive J/psi and psi(2) photoproduction in Au + Au ultraperipheral collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV using the STAR detector. For the first time, (i) the psi(2s) photoproduction in midrapidity at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider has been experimentally measured; (ii) nuclear suppression factors are measured for both the coherent and incoherent J/psi production. At average photon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 25.0 GeV, the coherent and incoherent J/psi cross sections of Au nuclei are found to be 71 +/- 10% and 36 +/- 7%, respectively, of that of free protons. The stronger suppression observed in the incoherent production provides a new experimental handle to study the initial-state parton density in heavy nuclei. Data are compared with theoretical models quantitatively.
