Abstract
The effects of parton energy loss and p ⊥-broadening in cold nuclear matter on the p ⊥ and centrality dependence, at various rapidities, of J/ψ suppression in p-A collisions are investigated. Calculations are systematically compared to E866 and PHENIX measurements. The very good agreement between the data and the theoretical expectations further supports p ⊥-broadening and the associated medium-induced parton energy loss as dominant effects in J/ψ suppression in high-energy p-A collisions. Predictions for J/ψ (and \( \varUpsilon \)) suppression in p-Pb collisions at the LHC are given.
