Performance studies for J/ψ measurements in p+A collisions with CBM — •Daniel Giang for the CBM collaboration — Institut für Kernphysik, Goethe-Universität Frankfurt

The CBM experiment at FAIR aims to explore the QCD phase diagram at moderate temperatures and high net-baryon densities. The J/ψ meson is considered to be one of the most important observables for the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), since the potential that binds the cc-pair can be screened by the presence of free color charges. Besides QGP effects, a part of the suppression happens because of cold nuclear matter effects. We can analyze the contribution of these effects in p+A collisions, where no QGP is expected.
In this work we present a simulation of the J/ψ production in p+Au collision to study the performance of the detector setup in the CBM experiment. Additionally, we will discuss fast simulation methods which allow to generate huge amounts of events, needed to produce a significant J/ψ signal.
