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.

The production of $Upsilon(nS)$ mesons ($n=1,2,3$) in $p$Pb and Pb$p$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair $sqrt{s_{NN}}=8.16$ TeV is measured by the LHCb experiment, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 31.8 nb$^{-1}$. The $Upsilon(nS)$ mesons are reconstructed through their decays into two opposite-sign muons. The measurements comprise the differential production cross-sections of the $Upsilon(1S)$ and $Upsilon(2S)$ states, their forward-to-backward ratios and nuclear modification factors, performed as a function of the transverse momentum pt and rapidity in the nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass frame $y^*$ of the $Upsilon(nS)$ states, in the kinematic range $p_{rm{T}}<25$ GeV/$c$ and $1.5<y^*<4.0$ ($-5.0<y^*<-2.5$) for $p$Pb (Pb$p$) collisions. In addition, production cross-sections for $Upsilon(3S)$ are measured integrated over phase space and the production ratios between all three $Upsilon(nS)$ states are determined. The measurements are compared to theoretical predictions and suppressions for quarkonium in $p$Pb collisions are observed.
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 production of J/$psi$ mesons is studied in proton-lead collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair $sqrt{s_{text{NN}}}=8.16$ TeV with the LHCb detector at the LHC. The double differential cross-sections of prompt and nonprompt J/$psi$ production are measured as functions of the J/$psi$ transverse momentum and rapidity in the nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass frame. Forward-to-backward ratios and nuclear modification factors are determined. The results are compared with theoretical calculations based on collinear factorisation using nuclear parton distribution functions, on the colour glass condensate or on coherent energy loss models.
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.
