Nuclear modification factors from the CMS experiment

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: We report the measurements of nuclear modification factors of the Z bosons, isolated photons and charged particles in = 2.76 TeV Pb–Pb collisions with the Compact Muon Solenoid detector. The nuclear modification factors are constructed by dividing the Pb–Pb p T spectra, normalized to the number of binary collisions, by the pp references. No modifications are observed in the isolated photon and Z boson production with respect to the pp references, while a large suppression is observed in the charged particles.
