A measurement of the elliptic flow (v

) of prompt J/ ψ mesons in high-multiplicity pPb collisions
is reported using data collected by the CMS experiment at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy
√
s
NN
= 8.16 TeV. Prompt J/ ψ mesons decaying into two muons are reconstructed in the rapidity region
in the nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass frame (y
cm
), corresponding to either −2.86 < y
cm
< −1.86 or
0.94 < y
cm
< 1.94. The average v
2
result from the two rapidity ranges is reported over the transverse
momentum (p
T
) range from 0.2 to 10GeV. Positive v
2
values are observed for the prompt J/ ψ meson,
as extracted from long-range two-particle correlations with charged hadrons, for 2 < p
T
< 8GeV. The
prompt J/ ψ results are compared with previous CMS measurements of elliptic flow for open charm
mesons (D
0
) and strange hadrons. From these measurements, constraints can be obtained on the
collective dynamics of charm quarks produced in high-multiplicity events arising from small systems.

1. Introduction
Strong collective behavior is found in the azimuthal correlations
of particles emitted in relativistic nucleus-nucleus (AA) collisions
at the BNL RHIC [1–4] and at the CERN LHC [5–10]. These correla-
tions,
which are long-range in pseudorapidity (η), suggest the for-
mation
of a strongly interacting quark-gluon plasma (QGP) that ex-
hibits
nearly ideal hydrodynamic behavior [11–13]. The azimuthal
correlation structure of emitted particles is typically characterized
by its Fourier components [14]. In particular, within a hydrody-
namic
picture, the second and third Fourier anisotropy components
are known as elliptic (v
2
) and triangular (v
3
) flow, respectively,
and reflect the QGP medium response to the initial collision ge-
ometry
and its fluctuations [15–17]. In recent years, similar long-
range
collective azimuthal correlations have also been observed in
events with high final-state particle multiplicity in proton-proton
(pp) [18–21], proton-nucleus (pA) [22–30], and lighter AA colli-
sions [31–33],
raising the question of whether a fluid-like QGP is
created in these much smaller systems. While experimental mea-
surements
in these small systems are consistent with the hydrody-
namic
expansion of a tiny QGP droplet, alternative scenarios based
on gluon saturation in the initial state also claim to capture the

main features of the correlation data (recent reviews are provided
in Refs. [34,35]).
Because of their large masses, heavy quarks (charm and bot-
tom)
are primarily produced via hard-scattering processes at a very
early stage of the collision. Thus, they are largely decoupled from
the bulk production of soft gluons and light-flavor quarks at a
later stage in AA collisions, and thereby probe the properties and
dynamics of the QGP through its entire evolution [36]. A strong el-
liptic
flow (v
2
) signal has been observed for open heavy-flavor D
0
mesons in both AuAu collisions at RHIC [37] and PbPb collisions at
the LHC [38–40], suggesting that charm quarks may develop strong
collective flow behavior. Furthermore, a recent measurement of the
elliptic flow of J/ ψ mesons in PbPb collisions at
√
s
NN
= 5.02 TeV
[41]has
provided additional evidence for the collective behavior of
charm quarks in the QGP.
In the study of collectivity in small systems, such as that oc-
curring
in pp or pPb collisions, a key open question is whether
the strong collective behavior observed for bulk constituents in
high-multiplicity events also extends to charm and bottom quarks.
Long-range correlations involving inclusive muons at high trans-
verse
momentum (p
T
) reveal a hint of heavy-flavor quark collec-
tivity
in pPb collisions [42]. Furthermore, the recent observation
of a significant elliptic flow signal for prompt D
0
mesons in pPb
collisions
has provided evidence for charm quark collectivity in a
small system [43]. The v
2
signal for D
0
mesons is found to be
smaller than that of light-flavor mesons at a given p
T

that in these small systems there is a weaker collective motion for
charm quarks, as compared to that of the bulk medium. However,
as the D
0
meson carries both a light and a charm quark, the rela-
tive
contribution of these different flavor quarks to the observed v
2
signal is not fully constrained. Without detailed theoretical model-
ing,
a scenario is not excluded where the D
0
meson v
2
signal is
entirely carried by the light-flavor quark. The observation of an el-
liptic
flow signal for J/ ψ mesons in a small system could provide
more direct evidence of charm quark collectivity and could impose
new constraints on the collective dynamics of heavy-quark produc-
tion
in such collisions. Furthermore, heavy-quark collectivity may
also provide a hint of how, in small systems, hard probes inter-
act
with the QGP [36], assuming this is formed. First measurement
of inclusive J/ ψ (combined charmonia and J/ ψ mesons from de-
cay
of open beauty hadrons) v
2
in pPb collisions was reported in
Ref. [44], where positive v
2
coefficients were found in the range
of 3 < p
T
< 6 GeV with center-of-mass rapidities −4.46 < y
cm
<
−
2.96 or 2.03 < y
cm
< 3.53. A recent model calculation of J/ ψ v
2
in pPb collisions suggests little v
2
signal arising from final-state
interactions between charm quarks and the QGP medium [45].
This Letter presents the first measurement of prompt J/ ψ me-
son
elliptic flow (excluding contributions from b hadron decays)
from long-range two-particle correlations in very high multiplicity
pPb collisions at
√
s
NN
= 8.16 TeV. The v
2
harmonics for prompt
J/ ψ mesons in the ranges −2.86 < y
cm
< −1.86 and 0.94 < y
cm
<
1.94 are determined over a wide p
T
range from 0.2 to 10 GeV. To
estimate the possible residual contribution from back-to-back jet-
like
correlations, the v
2
values are also presented after subtracting
correlations obtained from low-multiplicity pPb events (denoted as
v
sub
2
), where jet-like correlations are assumed to dominate. The re-
sults
are compared to those of the light strange-flavor K
0
S
and
hadrons, and the open heavy-flavor prompt D
0
meson, which were
previously reported by CMS [43]in the same p
T
range but in a
different rapidity range of −1.46 < y
cm
< 0.54. In order to explore
possible collectivity at the partonic level, a comparison is also pre-
sented
in terms of the transverse kinetic energy per constituent
quark (KE
T
/n
q
, where KE
T
=
m
2
+ p
2
T
−m, and n
q
is the number
of constituent quarks).
2. The CMS detector
The central feature of the CMS apparatus is a superconduct-
ing
solenoid of 6 m internal diameter, providing a magnetic field
of 3.8 T. Within the solenoid volume, there are four primary sub-
detectors
including a silicon pixel and strip tracker detector, a lead
tungstate crystal electromagnetic calorimeter, and a brass and scin-
tillator
hadron calorimeter, each composed of a barrel and two
endcap sections. Iron and quartz-fiber Cherenkov hadron forward
(HF) calorimeters cover the range 3.0 < |η| < 5.2. Muons are mea-
sured
in the range |η| < 2.4in gas-ionization detectors embedded
in the steel flux-return yoke outside the solenoid, with detection
planes made using three technologies: drift tubes, cathode strip
chambers, and resistive-plate chambers. The silicon tracker mea-
sures
charged particles within the range |η| < 2.5. For charged
particles with 1 < p
T
< 10 GeV and |η| < 1.4, the track resolutions
are typically 1.5% in p
T
and 25–90 (45–150) μm in the transverse
(longitudinal) impact parameter [46]. A detailed description of the
CMS detector, together with a definition of the coordinate sys-
tem
used and the relevant kinematic variables, can be found in
Ref. [47].
3. Data selection and J/ ψ meson reconstruction
The pPb data at
√
s
NN
= 8.16 TeV used in this analysis were
collected in 2016, and correspond to an integrated luminosity
of 186 nb
−1
. The beam energies are 6.5 TeV for the protons and
2.56 TeV per nucleon for the lead nuclei. Because of the asym-
metric
beam conditions, particles selected in the laboratory rapid-
ity
range of 1.4 < y
lab
< 2.4(−2.4 < y
lab
< −1.4) have a corre-
sponding
nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass frame rapidity range of
0.94 < y
cm
< 1.94 (−2.86 < y
cm
< −1.86), with positive rapid-
ity
defined in the proton beam direction. To minimize statistical
uncertainties, the quoted J/ ψ meson v
2
results combine the indi-
vidual
values obtained for the proton and lead beam directions.
The
pPb data are analyzed in different ranges of N
offline
trk
, where
N
offline
trk
is the number of primary charged particle tracks [46]with
|η| < 2.4 and p
T
> 0.4 GeV. The main results are obtained with
events in the high-multiplicity range 185 ≤ N
offline
trk
< 250. To select
these events, dedicated triggers were developed, as discussed in
Refs. [48,49]. Events with N
offline
trk
< 35 are also used to estimate
the possible contribution of residual back-to-back jet-like corre-
lations.
These lower-multiplicity events are selected online with
a hardware-based trigger requiring two muon candidates in the
muon detectors with no explicit momentum or rapidity thresh-
old [50].
In the offline analysis, hadronic collisions are selected by
requiring at least one HF calorimeter tower with more than 3GeV
of
total energy in each of the two HF detectors. Events must con-
tain
a primary vertex close to the nominal interaction point of the
beams, within 15 cm along the beam direction, and 0.2 cm in the
plane transverse to beam direction. The N
offline
trk
range limits cor-
respond
to fractional inelastic cross sections from 100 to 57% for
N
offline
trk
< 35, and from 0.33 to 0.01% for 185 ≤ N
offline
trk
< 250, re-
spectively.
The
offline muon reconstruction algorithm starts either by find-
ing
tracks in the muon detectors, which are then fitted together
with tracks reconstructed in the silicon tracker (global muons), or
by extrapolating tracks from the silicon tracker to match a hit on
at least one segment of the muon detectors (tracker muons). The
muon candidates are required to pass the identification criteria
of the particle-flow algorithm [51], which suppresses contamina-
tion
of “punch-through” hadrons misidentified as muons, based on
energy deposition in the calorimeters. The soft muon selection cri-
teria
are also imposed, as defined in Ref. [52], to further improve
the purity of muons.
The
J/ ψ meson candidates are formed from pairs of oppo-
sitely
charged muons, originating from a common vertex. Based
on the vertex probability distributions for signal and background
candidates, the probability that the dimuon pair shares a common
vertex is required to be larger than 1%, lowering the background
from random combinations as well as from semileptonic decays
of bottom and charm hadrons. Because of the long lifetime of
b hadrons compared to that of J/ ψ mesons, the nonprompt J/ ψ
meson component can be reduced by placing constraints on the
pseudo-proper decay length [53]. This is defined by

J/ψ

,

where L
xyz
is the distance between the primary and dimuon ver-
tices,
m
J/ψ
is the Particle Data Group [54]world average value of
the J/ ψ meson mass (assumed for all dimuon candidates), and p
μμ
is the dimuon momentum. The upper limit (decreasing as a func-
tion
of p
T
) imposed on the
3D
J
/ψ
value is based on Monte Carlo
(MC) studies with simulated event samples of pythia 8.209 [55,56],
and found to reject 75–90% (from low to high p
T
) of nonprompt
J/ ψ mesons, largely independent of multiplicity. The residual non-
prompt
J/ ψ meson fraction in the data is estimated to be approx-
imately
5% across the full p
T
range, and its effect on the v
2
mea-
surement
is propagated as a systematic uncertainty, as described
in Section 5.

4. Analysis technique
The azimuthal anisotropy of J/ ψ mesons is extracted from the
long-range (|η| > 1) two-particle azimuthal correlations, follow-
ing
an identical procedure to that described in Refs. [21,27,43].
A two-dimensional (2D) correlation function is constructed by pair-
ing
each J/ ψ candidate with reference primary charged-particle
tracks with 0.3 < p
T
< 3 GeV and |η| < 2.4(denoted as “ref” parti-
cles),
and calculating

S(η, φ)
B(η, φ)
,
(2)
where η and φ are the differences in η and in the azimuthal
angle (φ) of the pair. The same-event pair distribution, S(η, φ),
represents the yield of particle pairs normalized by the number of
J/ ψ candidates from the same event. The mixed-event pair yield
distribution, B(η, φ), is constructed by pairing J/ ψ candidates
in each event with the reference primary charged-particle tracks
from 20 different randomly selected events, from the same N
offline
trk
range and having a primary vertex falling in the same 2cm wide
range of reconstructed longitudinal, z coordinate. The analysis pro-
cedure
is performed in each p
T
and invariant mass (m
inv
) range of
J/ ψ candidates. A correction for the acceptance and efficiency of
the J/ ψ meson yields is applied, but found to have a negligible ef-
fect
on the measurements. The φ correlation functions averaged
over |η| > 1(to remove short-range correlations, such as jet frag-
mentation)
are then obtained from the 2D distributions and fitted
by the first three terms of a Fourier series (including additional
terms has a negligible effect on the fit results):

Here, V

are the Fourier coefficients and N

represents the
total number of same-event pairs per J/ ψ candidate for a given
invariant mass interval. By assuming that V

is the prod-
uct
of single-particle anisotropies of J/ ψ mesons and reference
charged particles [57], V
n
(J/ ψ, ref) = v

(J/ ψ) × v

n
anisotropy harmonics for J/ ψ candidates can be extracted as a
function of invariant mass, v
n
(J/ ψ) = V
n

√
V
n
(ref, ref).
The V
n
(ref, ref) represents the Fourier coefficients extracted by
correlating two reference charged particles. With the current data,
only the second order (n = 2) elliptic anisotropy harmonic can be
measured with meaningful statistical precision.
To extract the genuine v
2
values of the J/ ψ meson signal (v
S
2
),
the contribution from background candidates (v
B
2
) has to be sub-
tracted
from the v
2
values of all J/ ψ meson candidates, as obtained
in the previous step. The procedure is to first fit the dimuon mass
spectrum with a function composed of three components: two
Crystal Ball functions [58]with different widths but common mean
and tail parameters for the J/ ψ signal (the tail parameters are fixed
to the values obtained from simulation), S(m
inv
), and an exponen-
tial
function to model the background, B(m
inv
). Then, the signal
plus background v
S+B
2
(m
inv
) distribution is fitted with:
v

(m
inv
) = α(m

)v
S

+[1 − α(m

), (4)
where
α(m
inv
) =
S(m
inv
)
S(m
inv
) + B(m
inv
)
.
(5)
Here, v
B
2
(m
inv
) for the background J/ ψ candidates is modeled as
an exponential function of the invariant mass, and α(m
inv
) is the
J/ ψ signal fraction obtained from the mass spectrum fit. An exam-
ple
of fits to the mass spectrum and v
S+B
2
(m
inv
) in the p
T
interval
6.0–8.0 GeV for the multiplicity range 185 ≤ N
offline
trk
< 250 is shown
in Fig. 1. The residual contribution of back-to-back dijets to the
measured v
2
results is estimated from low-multiplicity pPb events
and is removed from the signal after accounting for the jet yield
ratio of the selected events, following a jet subtraction procedure
similar to that established in Refs. [21,43,57]. The Fourier coeffi-
cients,

n
, extracted from Eq. (3)for N

trk
< 35, are subtracted
from the V

coefficients obtained in the high-multiplicity region,

Here, Y
jet
represents the jet yield obtained by integrating the
difference of the short-range (|η| < 1) and long-range event-
normalized
associated yields for each multiplicity class. The ratio,
Y
jet
/Y
jet
(N
offline
trk
< 35), is introduced to account for the enhanced
jet correlations resulting from the selection of higher-multiplicity
events. For p
T
(J/ ψ) < 4.5 GeV, the jet yield ratio cannot be directly
estimated from the two-particle azimuthal correlations, as the J/ ψ
candidates tend to have larger η values than the acceptance for

as that for the high-p
T
region, where no p
T
dependence has been
observed. It was also previously observed that the values of jet
yield ratio for D
0
and strange particle species show little depen-
dence
on p

over the full p

range [43].
5. Systematic uncertainties
Sources of systematic uncertainties on the prompt J/ ψ me-
son
v
2
measurement include the J/ ψ meson yield correction (ac-
ceptance
and efficiency correction derived from pythia simula-
tion),
the nonprompt J/ ψ meson contamination, the background
v
B
2
(m
inv
) functional form, the signal and background invariant
mass PDF, the jet subtraction procedure, the contamination of
events containing more than one pPb interaction (pileup), and the
trigger bias. In this Letter, the quoted uncertainties in v
2
are ab-
solute
values, and are found to have no dependence on p
T
, except
those for the jet subtraction procedure. Systematic uncertainties
originating from different sources are added in quadrature to ob-
tain
the overall systematic uncertainty shown as boxes in the fig-
ures.
To
evaluate the uncertainties arising from the efficiency cor-
rection
to the J/ ψ meson yield, the v
2
values are compared to
the uncorrected ones, yielding an uncertainty of 0.008. The ef-
fect
on the measured v
2
due to the residual contribution from
nonprompt J/ ψ mesons is evaluated by varying the
3D
J
/ψ
require-
ment
such that the nonprompt J/ ψ meson yield is doubled. The
v
2
values are found not to change by more than ±0.004, which
is assigned as the systematic uncertainty due to the J/ ψ meson
yield correction. Possible differences in the rejection efficiency of
nonprompt J/ ψ mesons between data and simulation are investi-
gated
and found to be negligible. The systematic uncertainties from
the background v
2
functional form are evaluated by comparing
v
B
2
(m
inv
) values based on first-, second-, and third-order polyno-
mial
fits to the background distribution. The resulting J/ ψ signal
v
2
values are found to vary by less than 0.009. Systematic effects
related to signal invariant mass PDF are found to be negligible by
releasing, one at a time, the fixed tail parameters of the Crystal
Ball functions. The variation of v
2
, while changing the background
invariant mass PDF to a second- or third-order polynomial func-
tion
is also found to be negligible. In the jet subtraction procedure,
the statistical precision of the jet yield ratio is limited. The v
sub
2
results are found to be consistent within ±0.002 to ±0.014 (in-
creasing
with p
T
) when varying the jet yield ratio by its statistical
uncertainty. The systematic uncertainties from the potential pileup
effect and the trigger bias are taken to be the same as for inclusive
charged particles in Ref. [49], where they can be established with
good statistical precision. The pileup and trigger bias uncertainties
are negligible compared to the other sources of systematic uncer-
tainties,
as the fraction of residual pileup events is only a few %
and the trigger efficiency is close to 100%.
6. Results
Fig. 2 shows the v
2
results of prompt J/ ψ mesons at for-
ward
rapidities (−2.86 < y
cm
< −1.86 or 0.94 < y
cm
< 1.94) for
high-multiplicity (185 ≤ N
offline
trk
< 250) pPb collisions, covering a
p
T
range from 0.2 to 10 GeV. Results obtained separately for J/ ψ
meson rapidity in the Pb- and p-going direction are compared,
and found to be consistent within statistical uncertainties. Thus,
as mentioned earlier, combined v
2
values are presented for the
best statistical precision. The v
2
results for K
0
S
and hadrons
(light, strange-flavor), and prompt D
0
mesons (open heavy-flavor),
reported in a previous CMS publication [43]for the midrapidity
region −1.46 < y
cm
< 0.54, are also shown for comparison.

to statistical uncertainties, while the shaded areas denote the systematic uncertain-
ties.
Positive prompt J/ ψ meson v
2
values are observed over a wide
p
T
range from about 2 to 8GeV. The prompt J/ ψ meson v
2
re-
sults
show a trend of first increasing up to p
T
∼ 4 GeV and then
decreasing toward higher p
T
. This observed trend appears to be in
common with the other hadron species shown. In the p
T
range
below 5GeV, the v
2
values for J/ ψ and D
0
mesons are consis-
tent
with each other within the uncertainties, while an indication
of smaller v
2
values for J/ ψ mesons than that for D
0
mesons
is seen for p
T
> 5GeV, although the difference is not significant
within current experimental uncertainties. Over the full p
T
range,
the v
2
signal values for both J/ ψ and D
0
hadrons are smaller than
those for K
0
S
and hadrons. This observation is consistent with
the earlier conclusion that charm quarks develop a weaker col-
lective
dynamics than light quarks in small systems [43]. Because
of experimental limitation, v
2
values for the prompt J/ ψ meson
and the other meson species are not compared within the same
rapidity range, possibly affecting their comparison. The rapidity
dependence of v
2
values for charged particles in pPb collisions
has been measured [59,60], suggesting up to around 15% variation
from |y
lab
| ∼ 0to 2.4.
To
better study the elliptic flow signal coming purely from long-
range
collective correlations, the J/ ψ v
2
results are corrected for
residual jet correlations. The resulting (v
sub
2
) values are shown in
Fig. 3 (upper) for prompt J/ ψ mesons as a function of p
T
with
185 ≤ N
offline
trk
< 250, and compared to similarly corrected K
0
S
, ,
and D
0
hadron results [43]. The effect of the correction for all par-
ticle
species is most noticeable at very high p
T
, while the overall
p
T
dependence of the v
2
data remains unchanged. The K
0
S
mesons
have a larger correction applied to their v
2
values (possibly be-
cause
K
0
S
mesons are more correlated with the bulk multiplicity,
and thus are biased toward stronger jet correlations due to the
selection of high multiplicities) and their v
sub
2
values after the
correction tend to converge to those of the prompt J/ ψ and D
0
mesons at high p
T
.
A
recent model calculation of J/ ψ v
2
in minimum bias pPb col-
lisions,
based on final-state interactions between produced charm
quarks and a QGP medium, suggests a very small v
2
signal of less
than 0.01 [45]. This calculation indicates that additional contribu-
tions,
e.g., those from initial-state interactions, may be needed to
account for the observed v
2
signal of prompt J/ ψ mesons for high-
multiplicity
pPb events reported in this Letter.
Motivated
by the possible formation of a hydrodynamically
expanding QGP medium in small systems, the elliptic flow sig-
nals
