Measurement of ψ(2S) nuclear modification at backward and forward rapidity in p+p, p+Al, and p+Au collisions at sNN =200 GeV
Suppression of the J/ψ nuclear-modification factor has been seen as a trademark signature of final-state effects in large collision systems for decades. In small systems, the nuclear modification was attributed to cold-nuclear-matter effects until the observation of strong differential suppression of the ψ(2S) state in p+A and d+A collisions suggested the presence of final-state effects.
