  1. The production of 𝜂 and 𝜂′ mesons is studied in proton-proton and proton-lead collisions collected with the LHCb detector. Proton-proton collisions are studied at center-of-mass energies of 5.02 and 13TeV and proton-lead collisions are studied at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon of 8.16TeV. The studies are performed in center-of-mass (c.m.) rapidity regions 2.5<𝑦c.m.<3.5 (forward rapidity) and −4.0<𝑦c.m.<−3.0 (backward rapidity) defined relative to the proton beam direction. The 𝜂 and 𝜂′ production cross sections are measured differentially as a function of transverse momentum for 1.5<𝑝T<10GeV and 3<𝑝T<10GeV, respectively. The differential cross sections are used to calculate nuclear modification factors. The nuclear modification factors for 𝜂 and 𝜂′ mesons agree at both forward and backward rapidity, showing no significant evidence of mass dependence. The differential cross sections of 𝜂 mesons are also used to calculate 𝜂/𝜋0 cross-section ratios, which show evidence of a deviation from the world average. These studies offer new constraints on mass-dependent nuclear effects in heavy-ion collisions, as well as 𝜂 and 𝜂′ meson fragmentation.

  2. The decay η π + π π 0 is an ideal process in which to study flavor-conserving C and C P violation beyond the Standard Model. We deduce the C - and C P -odd quark operators that contribute to η π + π π 0 originating from the mass-dimension-six Standard Model effective field theory. The corresponding hadron-level operators that generate a nonvanishing I = 0 amplitude at order p 6 in the chiral effective theory are presented for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, in addition to the leading-order operators ascribed to the I = 2 final state. By fitting the KLOE-2 and the most recent BESIII experimental data, we determine the coefficients of the lowest-order I = 0 and I = 2 amplitudes and estimate the potential new physics energy scale. We also perform an impact study of the future η π + π π 0 experiments. Published by the American Physical Society2024
