Production of $\Upsilon$ mesons in proton-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5 \mathrm{TeV}$ is studied with the LHCb detector. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.6 \mathrm{nb}^{-1}$. The $\Upsilon$ mesons of transverse momenta up to $15 \mathrm{GeV}/c$ are reconstructed in the dimuon decay mode. The rapidity coverage in the centre-of-mass system is $1.5 < y < 4.0$ (forward region) and $-5.0 < y < -2.5$ (backward region). The forward-backward production ratio and the nuclear modification factor for $\Upsilon(1S)$ mesons are determined. The data are compatible with the predictions for a suppression of $\Upsilon(1S)$ production with respect to proton-proton collisions in the forward region, and an enhancement in the backward region. The suppression is found to be smaller than in the case of prompt $J/\psi$ mesons.

Study of D*+ and search for D**0 production by neutrinos in BEBC

The Big Bubble Chamber Neutrino collaboration Asratvan, A.E. ; Aderholz, M. ; Ammosov, V.V. ; et al.

Data from BEBC experiments are combined to provide large statistics for neutrino interactions. ChargedD* mesons are produced in (1.22±0.25)% of neutrino and (1.01±0.31)% of antineutrino charged current interactions. The mean fraction of the hadronic laboratory energy taken by theD*+ in these events is 0.59±0.03±0.08. Less than 18% of all chargedD* mesons from (anti)neutrino interactions are found to be daughters ofD**0 (at the 90% confidence level).

Observation of D(s)** (2536) meson production by neutrinos in BEBC

The Big Bubble Chamber Neutrino collaboration Asratyan, A.E. ; Aderholz, M. ; Ammosov, V.V. ; et al.

Z.Phys.C 61 (1994) 563-566, 1994.

Inspire Record 363214 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.14264

Neutrino interactions in BEBC produce theDS** (2536) charmed strange meson. The mass of this state is 2534.2±1.2 MeV. The production rate is 0.011±0.005 per neutrino charged current interaction at a mean neutrino energy of 61 GeV. An earlier claim for another$c\bar s$ bound state near 2565 MeV, produced in neutrino interactions, is not supported.
