Production cross sections of B mesons in pPb collisions at sqrt{sNN} = 5.02 TeV

• Abstract: Measurements of the differential cross sections in rapidity and transverse momentum for B mesons produced in pPb collisions at sqrt(sNN)=5.02 TeV with the CMS detector will be reported. The nuclear modification factor (RpPb) is determined by dividing the measured pPb cross sections by an interpolated or theoretically determined pp reference. In addition, the asymmetries in the B meson cross sections between equivalent positive and negative pseudorapidity ranges in center-of-mass frame are presented.

Charged particle RpPb and Yasm in pPb collisions at sqrt{sNN} = 5.02 TeV

• Abstract: Measurements of the inclusive charged particle transverse momentum spectra in pPb collisions at sqrt(sNN)=5.02 TeV with the CMS detector will be reported. The transverse momentum distributions are measured at midrapidity and forward pseudorapidity ranges up to pT=100 GeV/c. The nuclear modification factor (RpPb) is measured at midrapidity by dividing the measured pPb spectrum by a pp reference spectrum constructed using interpolation methods. In addition, the asymmetries in the charge particle yields between equivalent positive and negative pseudorapidity ranges in center-of-mass frame are presented as a function transverse momentum.

The Forwards-Backwards Asymmetry of Charged Particles in pPb collisions at sqrt{sNN} = 5.02 TeV

• Abstract: The forwards-backwards asymmetry (Yasm) of inclusive charged particles is reported as a function of transverse momentum in pPb collisions at sqrt(sNN)=5.02 TeV as measured with the CMS detector. These asymmetries are constructed from the charged particle transverse momentum spectra measured for 0.4 < pT < 100 GeV/c, and in six pseudorapidity classes ranging from 0.3 to 1.8. In addition, the asymmetry is presented in classes of event activity determined by the total energy measured in the forward hadron calorimeter.
