The production of $psi(2S)$ mesons is studied in dimuon final states using proton-lead collision data collected by the LHCb detector. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $1.6~mathrm{nb}^{-1}$. The nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of the proton-lead collisions is $sqrt{s_{NN}}=5~mathrm{TeV}$. The measurement is performed using $psi(2S)$ mesons with transverse momentum less than $14~mathrm{GeV}/c$ and rapidity $y$ in the ranges $1.5<y<4.0$ and $-5.0<y<-2.5$ in the nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass system. The forward-backward production ratio and the nuclear modification factor are determined for $psi(2S)$ mesons. Using the production cross-section results of $psi(2S)$ and $J/psi$ mesons from $b$-hadron decays, the $bbar{b}$ cross-section in pPb collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}=5~mathrm{TeV}$ is obtained.

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.
The production of $J/psi$ mesons with rapidity $1.5<y<4.0$ or $-5.0<y<-2.5$ and transverse momentum $p_mathrm{T}<14 mathrm{GeV}/c$ is studied with the LHCb detector in proton-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy $sqrt{s_{NN}}=5 mathrm{TeV}$. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about $1.6 mathrm{nb}^{-1}$. For the first time the nuclear modification factor and forward-backward production ratio are determined separately for prompt $J/psi$ mesons and $J/psi$ from $b$-hadron decays. Clear suppression of prompt $J/psi$ production with respect to proton-proton collisions at large rapidity is observed, while the production of $J/psi$ from $b$-hadron decays is less suppressed. These results show good agreement with available theoretical predictions. The measurement shows that cold nuclear matter effects are important for interpretations of the related quark-gluon plasma signatures in heavy-ion collisions.
The photo-production of $J/psi$ mesons at low transverse momentum is studied in peripheral lead-lead collisions collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 210 $rm{mu b}^{-1}$. The $J/psi$ candidates are reconstructed through the prompt decay into two muons of opposite charge in the rapidity region of $2.0<y<4.5$. The results significantly improve previous measurements and are compared to the latest theoretical prediction.
We report on $J/psi$ production from asymmetric Cu+Au heavy-ion collisions at $sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$=200 GeV at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at both forward (Cu-going direction) and backward (Au-going direction) rapidities. The nuclear modification of $J/psi$ yields in Cu$+$Au collisions in the Au-going direction is found to be comparable to that in Au$+$Au collisions when plotted as a function of the number of participating nucleons. In the Cu-going direction, $J/psi$ production shows a stronger suppression. This difference is comparable in magnitude and has the same sign as the difference expected from shadowing effects due to stronger low-$x$ gluon suppression in the larger Au nucleus. The relative suppression is opposite to that expected from hot nuclear matter dissociation, since a higher energy density is expected in the Au-going direction.
