This study measures the production cross sections of neutral pion (π(0)) and eta meson up to high transverse momenta (p(T)) in p-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 8.16 TeV. The data provide strong constraints for nuclear parton distribution and fragmentation functions.
Neutral pion(pi(0)) and eta meson production cross sections were measured up to unprecedentedly high transverse momenta (p(T)) in p-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 8.16 TeV. The mesons were reconstructed via their two-photon decay channel in the rapidity interval -1.3 < y < 0.3 in the ranges of 0.4 < p(T) < 200 GeV/cand 1.0 < p(T) < 50 GeV/c, respectively. The respective nuclear modification factor (R-pPb) is presented for p(T) up to of 200 and 30 GeV/c, where the former was achieved by extending the pi(0) measurement in pp collisions at root s = 8 TeV using the merged cluster technique. The values of R-pPb are below unity for p(T) < 10 GeV/c, while they are consistent with unity for p(T) > 10 GeV/c, leaving essentially no room for final state energy loss. The new data provide strong constraints for nuclear parton distribution and fragmentation functions over a broad kinematic range and are compared to model predictions as well as previous results at root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV.
