Abstract:
We present the measurements of inclusive J/psi production at midrapidity (|y| < 1.0) in Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 54.4 GeV with the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. A suppression of J/psi production is observed in Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 54.4 GeV comparing to the scaled production in p+p collisions. The dependences of nuclear modification factor (RAA) on centrality and transverse momentum (pT) are measured with improved precision compared to previous measurements at 39 and 62.4 GeV. No significant energy dependence of RAA is found within uncertainties up to 200 GeV. The comparision to model calculations is presented and its physical implications are discussed

The black open circles are unlike sign from same event; The blue triangles are like sign from same event; The red line stands for the combinatorial background from unlike-sign mixed-event, and the black full squares are di-electron signal with the combinatorial background subtracted. The J/psi signal shape from embedding with additional momentum smearing is used to fit the di-electron signal and the residual background is described by a straight line. |

The boxes represent the systematic uncertainties. A pT > 0.2 GeV/c cut is added to exclude coherent photon induced production. |

The bands around unity indicate the uncertainties from the p+p baselines.

Summary:
In summary, we report on measurements of J/psi meson production in Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 54.4 GeV with the STAR detector at RHIC.
- The Npart dependence of RAA show a suppression in central Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 54.4 GeV
- Newly measured RAA for J/psi meson at √sNN = 54.4 GeV is shown as s function of Npart and pT with improved precision compared to previous measurements at 39 and 62.4 GeV
- No significant energy dependence of RAA in central collisions from 17.2 to 200 GeV within uncertainties is observed
- A larger suppression is observed at lower pT and towards more central collisions
- The mean pT square and rAA distributions at 54.4 GeV follow the trend of collision energy dependence
